Produktbeschreibung

Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket Beneath the elegant façade of wealth and refinement, a tale of passion, deception, and quiet devastation unfolds. What begins as a friendship between two seemingly perfect couples soon reveals a labyrinth of secrets, betrayals, and unspoken desires lurking beneath their polished lives. As one man pieces together the truth, his own memories twist and shift, blurring the lines between love and manipulation, innocence and guilt. In a world where appearances are everything, the greatest tragedies happen behind closed doors-hidden in plain sight. A groundbreaking exploration of memory and perception, The Good Soldier redefined modernist storytelling with its fractured timeline and unreliable narration. Ford Madox Ford's masterful use of shifting perspectives challenged traditional narrative structure, influencing writers like Graham Greene and William Faulkner. Through its intricate dissection of love, morality, and social decay, the novel captures the quiet disillusionment of a fading aristocracy on the brink of World War I. More than a century later, its psychological depth and innovative style continue to shape literary fiction.
