The Last Post (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258939298)

The Last Post is a novel by Ford Madox Ford, first published in 1928. Set in the years following World War I, the book tells the story of a group of British expatriates living in France. The central character is Christopher Tietjens, a former soldier who is now a government statistician. Tietjens is torn between his loyalty to his unfaithful wife Sylvia and his growing affection for a young suffragette named Valentine Wannop. Against this backdrop of personal drama, the novel explores larger themes of love, loyalty, and the aftermath of war. Ford's prose is noted for its psychological depth and complex characterizations, and The Last Post is no exception. The novel is also noted for its depiction of the changing social and political landscape of post-war Europe, as well as its commentary on the role of women in society. Overall, The Last Post is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that offers a rich and nuanced portrait of a tumultuous era in history. It is widely regarded as one of Ford's most important works, and continues to be studied and admired by readers and scholars alike.This is a new release of the original 1928 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
