Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Some Do Not..." is a masterpiece of 20th-century literature and the first volume of Ford Madox Ford's acclaimed "Parade's End" tetralogy. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing England during the early 1900s and the onset of the Great War, the novel follows Christopher Tietjens, "the last English Tory." A man of immense intellect and rigid moral principles, Tietjens finds himself increasingly at odds with a society that favors hypocrisy and social advancement over honor and truth.The narrative explores the complex web of Tietjens' personal life, specifically his tumultuous marriage to the unfaithful Sylvia and his burgeoning connection with the young suffragette Valentine Wannop. Through intricate prose and a non-linear structure, Ford captures the psychological depth of his characters as they navigate the dissolution of the Edwardian era. "Some Do Not..." is both a searing critique of social conventions and a profound examination of the impact of global conflict on the individual soul. It stands as a landmark of modernist fiction, offering a sophisticated portrayal of love, duty, and the painful transition into the modern age.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
