Sunriver Books & Music: Classics Book Club (juni 30 kl. 16:30) With a new movie based on the book releasing this year, it seemed like a perfect time to revisit Brideshead Revisited. It is set in the years after WWI with Charles Ryder studying at Oxford. His father has provided a generous allowance; an older cousin provides good advice. Instead of putting his ... (mere)nose firmly to the grindstone, Charles develops an intense attachment to Sebastian Flyte, son of Lord Marchmain. Sebastian takes his friend to the family home, Brideshead Castle. Charles is agnostic, the Flyte family are devote Roman Catholics. Sebastian’s father did not return to the family after WWI, preferring life in sunny Italy with his mistress. Sebastian’s mother is devoted to her faith and determined to direct the lives of her four children. The Flyte family embraces dysfunctional with religious fervor. Charles life twines in and out of the Flyte family orbit. As the book opens, Charles is in the military in WWII arriving at Brideshead Castle, now used to billet soldiers and officers. Charles had thought he would never see Brideshead again, his involvement with the family set his feet on a path that has taken his life in unexpected directions. Waugh has a biting, sardonic wit; he writes with an undercurrent of sexual tension. Brideshead Revisited was Evelyn Waugh’s tome about faith. It mirrors much of Waugh’s personal life. He attended Oxford, had a close relationship with another student, married the grand-daughter of an Earl (actually two of them), converted to Catholicism, and served in WWII. Waugh was a Captain in the Marines, but having an impatient nature and lacking any common ground with his troops, his superiors feared he might be shot by his own men. He went on to be a commando and was involved in daring missions in Dakar, Libya and Crete. It was during the war that Evelyn Waugh turned his pen to Bridshead Revisited.

Hvad?Sp.: Hvad betyder dette/hvorfor er det nødvendigt? Sv.: Da LibraryThing trækker på mange forskellige biblioteker, kan en enkelt forfatter optræde med forskellige navne. "Også kendt som" lader LibraryThing-brugere kombinere en forfatters forskellige navnevariationer på en nem måde, så samlingerne matcher og alting kan forløbe uden problemer. Sp.: Kan jeg kombinere med en forfatter der ikke er foreslået ovenfor? Sv.: Ja, det kan du godt. Sp.: Jeg ved at to navne er forskellige forfattere, men en eller anden idiot bliver ved med at kombinere dem. Kan jeg fjerne et navn fra listen over mulige kombinationer? Sv.: Ja, det kan du godt. Kig op! Alt i "Kombiner med..." afsnittet har nu et "kombiner aldrig" link. Brug denne funktion med omtanke. "Soren Kirkegård" ser muligvis åndsvagt ud, men stavefejl skal alligevel kombineres. "Søren Kierkegaard" og "H.C. Andersen" skal ikke. Sp.: Hvilke forfattere er allerede blevet dømt til "kombiner aldrig" med denne forfatter? Sv.: Ingen forfattere. Sp.: Jeg er den omtalte idiot og jeg har ret! Sv.: Tag det op i Combiners gruppen.Sp.: Hvad hvis et navn i virkeligheden er to forskellige forfattere? Sv.: We're working on a solution, but if you want you can post a brief disambiguation notice in the Common Knowledge section. Bliv medlem hvis du vil gøre dette. Er det dig?Hvis du er forfatter, så overvej at blive officiel LibraryThing-forfatter. Interessante forfatterlinks |
