Parade's End: The Complete Tetralogy (All 4 related novels: Some Do Not + No More Parades + A Man Could Stand Up + Last Post)

Ford Madox Ford, autor aproape necunoscut în spațiul literar românesc, uimește prin forța prozei sale, dar și prin profunzimea psihologică a personajelor, al căror registru emoțional cuprinde atât inocența imaculată, cât și gelozia otrăvită. Două cupluri aparent ideale se împrietenesc într-o stațiune din Europa. Edward reprezintă ofițerul ideal, chipeș, generos și blând. Leonora e o doamnă în adevăratul sens al cuvântului, iar Florence e o tânără cultă și plină de viață. Însă pojghița de respectabilitate, perfecțiune și devotament ascunde o țesătură primejdioasă și fragilă de minciuni, adulter, pasiuni chinuitoare, disperare și încrâncenare. Pe măsură ce povestea soților Ashburnham și a cuplului Dowell se desfășoară în mintea cititorului, în urmă rămâne interogația amară a unuia dintre personaje: „Unde sunt toate ființele strălucitoare, fericite și neprihănite din lumea asta? Unde-i fericirea?“ Ford Madox Ford (1837-1939) a fost un autor de romane, poet și redactor britanic. Ford s-a implicat în propaganda britanică de război și a lucrat pentru Biroul Propagandei de Război împreună cu alți savanți și scriitori cunoscuți ai vremii, printre care John Galshworthy. S-a înrolat în armată la 41 de ani și a fost trimis să lupte în Franța. Experiențele sale pe câmpul de luptă i-au inspirat tetralogia Parade’s End (Sfârșitul paradei, 1924-1928). Cea mai cunoscută operă a sa rămâne romanul The Good Soldier (Un soldat de nădejde, 1915), pe care prestigioasa revistă The Observer l-a inclus în lista celor o sută cele mai bune romane ale tuturor timpurilor.
