Parade's End by Ford Madox Ford (English) Paperback Book

Description: Parade's End by Ford Madox Ford, Julian Barnes Fords great masterpiece set in the First World War, now in Penguin Black Classics with an introduction by Julian BarnesConsisting of four novels - Some Do Not..., No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up and The Last Post - Parades End is the story of Christopher Tietjens and his progress from the secure world of Edwardian England into the First World War and beyond. Both a portrait of a love triangle - between Tietjens, his beautiful and reckless wife Sylvia, and the suffragette Valentine - and a depiction of life on the Western Front, Parades End is one of the greatest fictional works of the twentieth century. Ranging from the drawing rooms of England to the trenches of France, and moving between past and present, it is a haunting exploration of identity, loss and memory.
