About the book
On both the Modern Library's list of 100 Best Novels and the BBC's 100 Greatest British Novels, Parade's End is one of the twentieth-century's major literary achievements. The Last Post, the final volume of the tetralogy, takes place in the unsettled aftermath of the First World War. Christopher Tietjens, once the steadfast moral center of the sequence, is here largely absent--reconstructed through the partial, often unreliable voices of those around him. His wife Sylvia, brilliant and destructive; his brother Mark, immobilized and acutely observant; and Valentine Wannop, whose resilience offers a fragile counterpoint, together form a shifting chorus of memory, grievance, and self-deception. What emerges is not a conventional narrative of events, but a subtle exploration of perception, misremembering, and concealment. This Warbler Classics edition is based on The Literary Guild of America's 1928 publication and includes a detailed biographical timeline.
