The Good Soldier
เจเจธ เจเจกเฉเจ-เจเจฟเจคเจพเจฌ เจฌเจพเจฐเฉ
The Good Soldier is a story about the complex social and sexual relationships between two couplesโone English, one Americanโand the growing awareness of American narrator John Dowell of the intrigues and passions behind their orderly Edwardian faรงade. It is Dowellโs attitudeโhis puzzlement, uncertainty, and the seemingly haphazard manner of his narrationโthat makes the book so powerful and mysterious. In Fordโs brilliantly woven tale, nothing is quite what it seems.
Despite its catalog of death, insanity, and despair, this novel has many comic moments and has inspired the work of several distinguished writers, including Graham Greene. Originally published in 1915, The Good Soldier is considered by many to be Ford Madox Fordโs masterpiece.
