Om denne lydboken
Brought to you by Penguin.
Consisting of four novels - Some Do Not..., No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up and The Last Post - Parade's 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, Parade's 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.
Om forfatteren
Ford Madox Ford was born Ford Hermann Hueffer in Kent in 1873 and married Elsie Martindale in 1894. In 1915 he published The Good Soldier, and in the same year he enlisted in the army and served as an infantry officer. Parade's End, the culmination of his experiences during the First World War, was published in four parts between 1924 and 1928. He moved to Paris in 1922 and two years later founded the Transatlantic Review, whose contributors included James Joyce, Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. In his later years he divided his time between France and America, dying in Deauville in 1939.
