[About the Content]

"Between the rising and setting of the moon, there is a lifetime. And then, only darkness."

During "World War II", Captain Charles stumbled into Brideshead Manor, and no one knew that his past was buried there.

Rewind to the most prosperous 1920s in England,

Charles met the aristocratic young Sebastian on the Oxford campus:

"...He was utterly captivating. He had a hermaphroditic beauty, a beauty that in its extreme youth would sing for love, but would wither at the first chill wind."

In the stolen summer, young love began to blossom, and Charles followed Sebastian into his secret home - Brideshead Manor:

"Us against the world?"

"Us against the world."

[Editor's Recommendation]

🖋️ "The greatest writer of our time," according to Graham Greene.

A must-read book, one of the 100 best English novels of the 20th century,

The inheritor of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, Evelyn Waugh

And his phenomenal bestseller "Brideshead Revisited", which sold 600,000 copies in 3 months:

This British literary giant, known for his sharp satire, poured all his tenderness into this book.

-

🎇 Summer tilting, wine glasses spilling, "The only paradise is the paradise we can never return to."

Oxford, youth, old garden, Burgundy, England's last glorious scene—

"If only it could be like this forever, always summer, always just us."

The first half is as beautiful as a blossoming flower, the second half is heartbreaking,

Good things in the world are not solid, colorful clouds easily disperse, and glazed glass is fragile,

That's why we love "Brideshead Revisited",

Just as deeply and naturally as we love "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Downton Abbey".

-

🎠 "The longing for beauty and love is the only souvenir this terrible era has left us."

From the love of beautiful youths who are destined to part, to the restrained and forbidden love of middle age,

"Love" is a luxury in all eras, and mutual affection cannot overcome the double kill of class and faith:

Before destiny delivered its divine revelation, we were half a step away from touching heaven.

Multiple film and television adaptations, the original novel of the highly-rated 9.3 Douban series starring Colin Firth,

An insurmountable classic in the hearts of a generation.
