Sinossi

"Parade's End: The Complete Tetralogy" by Madox Ford is a masterful exploration of the tumultuous early 20th century, woven through the life of Christopher Tietjens, an English landowner caught in the throes of societal upheaval and the horrors of World War I. Ford employs a stream-of-consciousness narrative, rich with intricate characterizations and vivid imagery, to capture the complexities of modernity, class, and personal crisis. The tetralogy intricately examines themes of loyalty, love, and the fragility of civilization against the backdrop of an era marked by profound change and disillusionment. Madox Ford, a prominent figure in the literary scene of his time, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a soldier and his observations of a rapidly evolving society. His background, with ties to both British aristocracy and bohemian intellectual circles, informed the nuanced portrayal of Tietjens and his relationships. Ford's own wartime experiences and disenchanted worldview shine through, offering a poignant critique of the moral vacuity that accompanied the war and its aftermath. This tetralogy is highly recommended for readers seeking an in-depth, character-driven narrative that challenges conventional notions of heroism and societal values. Ford's "Parade's End" remains a significant literary landmark, inviting readers to reflect on the complexities of human nature and the era that shaped it.

    The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

    After the death of her husband, Miriam retreats into the quiet rhythm of quiltmaking and life on the farm. Each stitch is a thread of memory, a safeguard against a world that has taken too much. Her days are measured in silence—safe, predictable, untouched by risk.
     
    Then Levi returns.
     
    Her late husband’s cousin, long absent from the community, arrives to help with the harvest. He brings quiet strength, gentle hands, and a past that lingers like unfinished seams. Miriam never asked for company, especially not from someone who once cared too much, too silently.
     
    Levi has carried his own burden of guilt for years. His feelings for Miriam were always hidden, always wrong. But now, as autumn settles in and hours are shared between fences, fields, and fading light, something stirs again—soft, tentative, undeniable.
     
    In a world stitched by grief and custom, can two hearts find the courage to create something new from the silence between stitches?
