Zusammenfassung:"The Dowells, a wealthy American couple, have been close friends with the Ashburnhams for years. Edward Ashburnham, a first-rate soldier, seems to be the perfect English gentleman, and Leonora his perfect wife, but beneath the surface their marriage seethes with unhappiness and deception. Our only window on the strange tangle of events surrounding Edward is provided by John Dowell. Gradually he unfolds a devastating story, in which everyone's honesty is in doubt. This extraordinary novel of passion and betrayal is a haunting combination of narrative skill and emotional depth. David Bradshaw's introduction discusses John Dowell as the classic unreliable narrator and as English literature's most fascinating enigma, and shows how Ford Maddox Ford's unconventional narrative structure makes The Good Soldier a modernist masterwork. This edition also contains further reading and notes."
