The Good Soldier (1915) is a novel by Ford Madox Ford. Set just
before the First World War, the novel is superficially the story of
Edward Asburnham, a man with a reputation for philandering.
Considered an important proto-modernist novel, The Good Soldier
employs a fragmented narrative told by an unreliable narrator who
appears at times as distant, gossipy, voyeuristic, and even
vindictive. Praised as one of the greatest English-language novels
of the century, The Good Soldier remains Ford's most popular work.
John Dowell has secrets. Married for nine years to a serially
unfaithful woman, friends with a man who falls in love at first
sight with every woman he meets, he lives an exciting life without
ever doing much himself. As he sorts through his memories,
revealing the sordid details of his loved ones' private lives, it
becomes clear that Dowell is haunted by tragedy. His psychological
state, shaped by years of jealousy and paranoia, reveals the soul
of a man without faith, thrown from one betrayal to the next by his
manipulative wife. But how could he fail to see what was right
under his nose? Can a man truly be as innocent as Dowell claims to
be? The Good Soldier is a masterpiece of English fiction that poses
timeless questions regarding friendship, fidelity, and sexuality.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Ford Madox Ford's The Good Soldier is a
classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
