Description
The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford Set against the backdrop of pre-First World War Europe, this masterpiece of twentieth-century fiction tells the story of two wealthy and sophisticated couples, one English, one American, as they navigate the complexities of social etiquette and personal relationships. As they travel and socialise in the spa towns of Europe, the façade of their elegant lives begins to crack, revealing the intricate web of emotions and desires that lie beneath. Through the eyes of the American narrator, the reader is drawn into a world of comic and tragic moments, as the boundaries between friendship, marriage, and infidelity are constantly tested. With its nuanced exploration of human relationships and its insightful portrayal of the social conventions of its time, The Good Soldier is a thought-provoking and engaging read. First published in 1915, this edition features an introduction and notes by Sara Haslam, providing valuable context and background information for readers.
