Описание: Last Post, the fourth and final volume of Parade's End, is set on a single post-war summer's day. Valentine Wannop and Christopher Tietjens share a cottage in Sussex with Tietjens' brother and sister-in-law. Through their differing perspectives, Ford explores the tensions between his characters in a changing world, haunted by the experience of war, facing an insecure future for themselves and for England. The Tietjens' ancestral home has been let to an American, its great tree felled; those like Tietjens who have served in the war find there is no place for them in a demoralised civilian society. The celebrations of Armistice Day have been replaced by the uncertainties of peacetime.

Описание: No More Parades is the second novel in Ford Madox Ford's series of four novels depicting the meeting, courtship, and ultimate fulfillment of two modern heroes, Christopher Tietjens and Valentine Wannop, despite social condemnation, personal travails, and World War I. Ford poured his own experiences as writer, lover, and soldier into these novels. No More Parades finds Christopher with the army in France. His efforts are going unrewarded, his wife is raising a scandal about him, and his love for Valentine Wannop has been buried deep beneath layers of responsibility. At the novel's climax, he must undergo extended interrogation to avoid a court-martial on charges of striking a superior officer, and that same morning his command is to be subjected to a formal inspection. Through Ford's eyes we see war and romance as wrapped in an irrational embrace.

Описание: With his acclaimed masterpiece Parade's End, Ford Madox Ford set himself a work of immense scale and ambition: "I wanted the Novelist in fact to appear in his really proud position as historian of his own time... The 'subject' was the world as it culminated in the war." Published in four parts between 1924 and 1928, his extraordinary novel centers on Christopher Tietjens, an officer and a gentleman - "the last English Tory"-and follows him from the secure, orderly world of Edwardian England into the chaotic madness of the First World War. Against the backdrop of a world at war, Ford recounts the complex sexual warfare between Tietjens and his faithless wife, Sylvia. A work of truly amazing subtlety and profundity, Parade's End affirms Graham Greene's prediction: "There is no novelist of this century more likely to live than Ford Madox Ford."

Описание: "The Shifting Of The Fire," with its charming cover, its perfect type and paper, its accessories of decoration, reminds us of a banquet-table whither, being summoned with great ceremony, we have come with eager expectation. We find the table covered with finest damask and glittering with splendor that delights the eye; the host a man of culture; the menu a triumph; the guests the favored few of mind and beauty. One by one the dishes are placed before us, one by one we taste their contents. They are fair in appearance, yet each one we put aside with disappointment; for they lack that distinctive flavor so pleasantly suggested by their names. So it is with Mr. H. Ford Hueffer's story. An attempt to portray various workings of all-conquering love, and of malicious cruelty, it has succeeded merely in revealing to us the author's intentions, which, we will acknowledge, are of the best and most ambitious. The story is this: -A young man of wealth loved a girl and expected soon to marry her. On her nineteenth birthday he made her a present of a little sealed bottle of a most dangerous poison, which he had just succeeded in perfecting after five years of study. The following day he was suddenly called away by the failure of the business house through which he derived his immense income. After he became poor, the girl's parents refusing to permit their marriage, she planned to acquire, in the two years before she attained her majority, a large fortune for her lover's sake. To do this, she married a fabulously rich old man, who alluringly mentioned to her that he had but two years to live. To keep her lover ignorant of the whole proceeding, she exacted a promise from him that he would not see her or even inquire after her for two years. He learned of her marriage shortly before the old man came into the neighborhood where he had set up as a physician. It was part of the husband's malice to bring his wife and her early lover together, and watch the display of human suffering. Here the old man died, under circumstances that, the hero thought, pointed to poison-his poison, the properties of which he alone knew, and which he supposed, the tortured girl had administered, being unable longer to endure living with the cruel old man. Even the innocence of her demeanor and the perfect peace of mind that took possession of her did not undeceive him, and soon after, under this belief, he married her, loving her with a passion that would share her moral stain and a tenderness that would repay her for the sacrifice she had so fanatically made for him. Greater love than this is rarely found. It is the burden of Mr. Hueffer's tale, but he has failed to make us feel it through his characters, which seem to us unreal and out of drawing. The book is dedicated to the author's grandfather, Ford Maddox Brown, the forerunner of Pre-Raphaelite art in England. It may be this association, or it may be something inherent in the book itself, when all is said in favor of its English, its originality and its finished handling, that makes it remain in the mind as a fine piece of decorative fiction.--"The Critic: An Illustrated Monthly Review of Literature," Vol. 22

Описание: At the fashionable German spa town Bad Nauheim, two wealthy, fin de siecle couples - one British, the other American - meet for their yearly assignation. As their story moves back and forth in time between 1902 and 1914, the fragile surface propriety of the pre - World War I society in which these four characters live is ruptured - revealing deceit, hatred, infidelity, and betrayal. "The Good Soldier" is Edward Ashburnham, who, as an adherent to the moral code of the English upper class, is nonetheless consumed by a passion for women younger than his wife - a stoic but fallible figure in what his American friend, John Dowell, calls "the saddest story I ever heard."
