La fine della parata Serie

Questa acclamata tetralogia giustappone le vite di un uomo d'onore all'antica il cui mondo viene mandato in frantumi dalla Prima Guerra Mondiale. Narra il suo coinvolgimento con una moglie complessa e manipolatrice ed esplora il profondo impatto della guerra sull'alta società britannica e sulle loro norme sociali. La serie è celebrata per la sua narrativa modernista, in stile flusso di coscienza, e per i suoi profondi studi di personaggi, che sfidano le nozioni convenzionali di dovere e moralità.
