A great narration of a much loved classic book. Brideshead Revisited is a favourite of mine. It has a cast of flawed characters, but to be human is to be imperfect. The sense of melancholy and nostalgia is ever present and is what makes the novel so special.
What a glorious find! Especially on a day when I was a little under par with an awful headache, feeling strangely detached and shunned from all the world.
What an absolutely wonderful treat to come across this gem💎!!! Ahhh.... the John Gielgud style, and accent and delivery 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Pure Class. Thanks for uploading this😍👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
it is the only novel I have ever read by Waugh. I think it is a masterpiece. Most modern novelists are simply unable to compete with his wonderful prose and literary conjuring. After reading this book, one almost yearns to have once played a part within Charle's life. Outstanding prose that conjure up wondrous mental imagery that must only be read again and again.
Thank you for sharing this. I watched this on MasterpieceTheater with my mother when I was 14. Splendid novel and screenplay. John Gielgud reading it makes it special.
If anyone saw the movie "Arthur" with Dudley Moore, you must remember his man servant/valet/butler/minder, John Gieldgud. John was the ultimate straight-man. One of my favorite John G. performances.
Thanks for posting this. Impossible to tire of Gielgud's mellifluous voice. Waugh's writing is positively brilliant--beautiful, witty, and clever. Sebastian Flyte comes across here as much more intelligent than his TV portrait.
This is a treasure of an incredible work of literature and the gift of Sir John’s gorgeous voice and talent. Perfection.

John Geilgud has always been one of my favourite actors.
The combination of the beautiful prose and a great narrator is wonderful
Johnny reading Brideshead is double bliss . His own role playing Charles Ryder's father in the original TV series was superb .
Brilliantly narrated… it kept me very engaged. Thank you very much👍🏼
This book has been dear to my heart for 20 years.
What a fabulous jewel to have such a marvelous book read by the most appropriate reader….thank you Waugh and Gielgud!
The perfect unnunciation of the hideous

Perfect in every way. Painfully beautiful. Expertly flawed personalities. Such a treat to hear once more and by no better narrator.

What a lovely story, made even better with Sir John Gielgud's voice.
I wish there was video of John reading. I never tire of him nor can I ever get enough. Love him.
Love his voice. Easy to listen through in one go, it's like butter with an accent. Ha. Thanks so much for the upload!
