Parade´s End

Set against World War One, this tetralogy explores the complex relationship between Christopher Tietjens, a wealthy government statistician, and his unfaithful wife, Sylvia. As their paths diverge during the war, the narrative delves into the profound effects of both the conflict and the social upheaval of the early 20th century. Through Tietjens' psychological perspective, the work presents a modernist examination of character and conflict, earning acclaim as one of the finest fictional portrayals of the Great War.
