(The Folio society, Aug. 16, 2006)
Ford's great novel examines the passionate and tragic events that beset five tangled lives in Edwardian England. Behind a facade of elegant ease and correctness lurk secret layered upon secret. The Good Soldier's revolutionary, impressionistic narrative techniques greatly influenced Joseph Conrad, Henry James, and Grahame Greene, among others. The Folio Society edition is bound in full gold and gray cloth blocked with a design by the book's illustrator, Philip Bannister. Introduction by Julian Barnes. 224 pgs, slipcased.
