Jeremy Irons reads Evelyn Waugh's classic tale of love & the loss of innocence. Charles Ryder's friendship with the charming, irrepressible Sebastian Flyte & his equally charming, eccentric family begins when they are both Oxford undergraduates in 1923. Carefree days of drinking champagne & driving in the country soon end, however, as Sebastian's health deteriorates. Questions about mortality & religion are raised, & the radiant tone gives way to a bleak atmosphere of shattered illusion... Moving from the decadence of the Roaring Twenties to the austerity of the Second World War, the novel conjures up a lost age, & is Waugh's most moving, romantic & controversial work. Jeremy Irons starred as Charles Ryder in the acclaimed television production of " Brideshead Revisited", which is now a major motion picture starring Emma Thompson & Michael Gambon. ...

Who were the three men the Soviet & American superpowers exchanged on Berlin's Glienicke Bridge on February 10, 1962, in the first & most legendary prisoner exchange between East & West? Bridge of Spies vividly traces the journeys of these men, whose fate defines the complex conflicts that characterized the most dangerous years of the Cold War. Bridge of Spies is a true story of three men
- Rudolf Abel, a Soviet Spy who was a master of disguise; Gary Powers, an American who was captured when his spy plane was shot down by the Russians; & Frederic Pryor, a young American doctor mistakenly identified as a spy & captured by the Soviets. The men in this three-way political swap had been drawn into the nadir of the Cold War by duty & curiosity, & the same tragicomedy of errors that induced Khrushchev to send missiles to Castro. Two of them
- the spy & the pilot
- were the original seekers of weapons of mass destruction. The third was an intellectual, in over his head. They were rescued against daunting odds by fate & by their families, & then all but forgotten. Even the U2 spy-plane pilot Powers is remembered now chiefly for the way he was vilified in the U.S. on his return. Yet the fates of those men exemplified the pathological mistrust that fueled the arms race for the next 30 years. This is their story.
