Parades End

Beschreibung

The Great War changes everything. In this tale, spanning over a decade, war turns the world of privileged, English aristocrat Christopher Tietjens upside down. It forces him to question everything he holds dear - social order, morality, marriage and loyalty. And it rocks the very foundations of English society.

Autor

Ford Madox Ford, born Joseph Leopold Ford Hermann Madox Hueffer in 1873, was an English novelist, poet, and critic. He grew up in a culturally rich household, influenced by his grandfather, the Pre-Raphaelite painter Ford Madox Brown. His exposure to the arts shaped his literary style, which blended modernist experimentation with deep psychological insight.In 1908, he founded The English Review, publishing works by major writers like Thomas Hardy and H.G. Wells while promoting emerging voices like D.H. Lawrence. His editorial work played a crucial role in shaping early 20th-century literature. Ford also collaborated closely with Joseph Conrad, co-writing novels that experimented with form and narrative perspective.His most famous work, The Good Soldier (1915), pioneered the use of unreliable narration, while his Parade's End tetralogy (1924-1928) offered a powerful critique of World War I. His writing explored themes of memory, disillusionment, and shifting social values. Today, he remains a key figure in modernist literature, influencing generations of writers.
