The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion (Oxford World’s Classics) - Softcover

This is the most intriguing, shocking and original book I have ever read. . . . The Good Soldier is the only book I have ever read and wanted to read again immediately . . . (The Times 21/04/01)

beautifully written, a wonderful novel but old-fashioned (Norah Naish, Western Daily Press (Bristol))

`The only novel of mine that I considered...at all to count'. Ford's study of the complex social and sexual relationship between an Edwardian English and American couple is narrated in such a seemingly haphazard way that it has perplexed and delighted readers since its publication in 1915. Despite its catalogue of death, insanity, and despair, this `Tale of Passion' has many comic moments, and has inspired the work of several distinguished writers, including Graham Greene. This is the only annotated student edition available. (2008-11-20)
