Lo straordinario romanzo di passione e tradimento di Ford Madox Ford, The Good Soldier, è curato con un'introduzione di David Bradshaw in Penguin Classics. I Dowell, una ricca coppia americana, sono amici intimi degli Ashburnham da anni. Edward Ashburnham, un soldato di prim'ordine, sembra essere il perfetto gentiluomo inglese, e Leonora la sua moglie perfetta, ma sotto la superficie il loro matrimonio ribolle di infelicità e inganno. La nostra unica finestra sullo strano groviglio di eventi che circondano Edward è fornita da John Dowell, il marito che inganna. Dowell dispiega gradualmente una storia devastante, in cui l'onestà di tutti è messa in dubbio. The Good Soldier è un capolavoro di abilità narrativa e profondità emotiva. L'introduzione di David Bradshaw discute di John Dowell come il classico narratore inaffidabile e come l'enigma più affascinante della letteratura inglese, e mostra come la struttura narrativa non convenzionale di Ford Madox Ford renda The Good Soldier un capolavoro modernista. Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939), nato nel Surrey e istruito in Inghilterra, Germania e Francia, cambiò il suo cognome originale, Hueffer, nel 1919, dopo aver prestato servizio nell'esercito britannico nella prima guerra mondiale. Oltre a fondare sia l'English Review che la Transatlantic Review, che hanno ospitato scrittori come James Joyce, Ezra Pound e Gertrude Stein, Ford fu autore di oltre sessanta opere tra romanzi, poesie, critiche, scritti di viaggio e reminiscenze. The Good Soldier (1915) è considerato il suo capolavoro. Se ti è piaciuto The Good Soldier, potresti apprezzare Parade's End di Ford, disponibile anche in Penguin Classics e ora oggetto di una nuova importante miniserie televisiva della BBC/HBO. 'Un capolavoro' Julian Barnes, autore vincitore del Booker Prize di The Sense of an Ending 'Non so quante volte in quasi quarant'anni sono tornato a questo romanzo' Graham Greene.
