«The Good Soldier» is Ford Madox Ford's modernist novel, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (228 pages, in English).
Two upper-class couples meet over several summers in Germany before the First World War. The narrator, John Dowell, reconstructs the story in a fragmentary and unreliable way: adultery, deceit and hidden passions beneath appearances. A reflection on the falseness of social conventions and the decadence of an era.
The full title of the work is The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion; originally published in 1915, this edition came out in 1990.
Recommended for readers of classics and modernist literature, and for book clubs interested in novels of psychological and social analysis.
Ford Madox Ford was an English novelist, poet, critic and editor whose journals The English Review and The Transatlantic Review were important in the development of early 20th-century English and American literature.
