Trama Libro Ebook No More Parades
Parade’s End is a series of four novels depicting the meeting, courtship, and ultimate fulfilment of two modern heroes, Christopher Tietjens and Valentine Wannop, despite social condemnation, personal travails, and World War I.
First published in 1926, "No More Parades" is the second book of Parade's End.
The subject of the novel is the world as it culminated in the war; the story centres on Christopher Tietjens, an officer and gentleman, the last English Tory, and follows him from the secure, orderly world of Edwardian England into the chaotic madness of the First World War. Against the backdrop of a world at war, Ford recounts the complex sexual warfare between Tietjens and his faithless wife Sylvia.
"No More Parades" and the whole Parade’s End tetralogy are an unforgettable exploration of the tensions of a society confronting catastrophe, sexuality, power, madness, and violence, this narrative examines time and a critical moment in history.
