Über den Autor

Born in Hampstead and educated at Oxford University, Evelyn Waugh came from a literary family. His elder brother, Alec was a novelist, and his father, Arthur Waugh, was the influential head of a large publishing house. Even in his school days, Waugh showed sings of the profound belief in mehr anzeigen Catholicism and brilliant wit that were to mark his later years. Waugh began publishing his novels in the late 1920's. He joined the Royal Marines at the beginning of World War II and was one of the first to volunteer for commando service. In 1944 he survived a plane crash in Yugoslavia and, while hiding in a cave, corrected the proofs of one of his novels. Waugh's early novels, Decline and Fall (1927), Vile Bodies (1930), and A Handful of Dust (1934), established him as one of the funniest and most brilliant satirists the British had seen in years. He was particularly skillful at poking fun at the scramble for prominence among the upper classes and the struggle between the generations. He lived for a while in Hollywood, about which he wrote The Loved One (1948), a scathing attack on the United States's overly sentimental funeral practices. His greatest works, however, are Brideshead Revisited (1945), which has been made into a highly popular television miniseries, and the trilogy Sword of Honor (1965), composed of Men at Arms (1952), Officers and Gentlemen (1955), and The End of the Battle (1961).

Rezensionen

Wiedersehen mit Brideshead von Evelyn Waugh

„Wiedersehen mit Brideshead“ ist die Geschichte einer englischen katholischen Adelsfamilie. Der junge Ich - Erzähler Charles Ryder befreundet sich in Oxford mit Sebastian, dessen Familie Brideshead bewohnt. Sebastian ist liebenswert und exzentrisch, mit seiner Familie tut er sich schwer. Immer deutlicher zeigt sich, dass er depressiv und alkoholsüchtig ist. Ryder selbst gibt sein Studium ebenfalls auf, wird ein relativ bekannter Maler und trifft eines Tages Julia, Sebastians Schwester, wieder. Die beiden beginnen eine Beziehung. Doch ihre Liebe scheitert an Ryders Agnostizismus, denn Julia, obwohl sie so gar nicht katholisch lebt, kann ihrem katholischen Gewissen nicht entfliehen. Das Buch beginnt und endet damit, dass Ryder als Hauptmann im zweiten Weltkrieg im nahezu verlassenen Brideshead Quartier nimmt.

Das Buch ist toll und vielschichtig geschrieben und birgt bis in die Nebenfiguren wunderbare Charaktere.… (mehr)

Befremdliche Völker, seltsame Sitten: Expeditionen… von Evelyn Waugh

Ein unterhaltsam geschriebenes Buch, eines schon zu seiner Zeit, sehr exzentrischen englischen Gentlemans.
Die sich im Anhang befindliche Kurzbiografie half mir sehr, das Buch einzuschätzen.

In einer Kurzgeschichte (O-titel "Charles Ryders Schooldays") beschreibt Waugh die Jugend der "Brideshead"-Hauptfigur Charles Ryder. Wer mehr über den Antihelden wissen will, erfährt hier einiges, auch zwischen den Zeilen. Im Buch sind vier weitere Geschichte gesammelt.
