The Dowells, a wealthy American couple, have been close friends with the Ashburnhams for years. Edward Ashburnham, a first-rate soldier, seems to be the perfect English gentleman, and Leonora his perfect wife, but beneath the surface their marriage seethes with unhappiness and deception. Our only window on the strange tangle of events surrounding Edward is provided by John Dowell, the husband he deceives. Gradually Dowell unfolds a devastating story, in which everyone's honesty is in doubt. This extraordinary novel of passion and betrayal is a masterpiece of narrative skill and emotional depth.
I have come to be very much of a cynic in these matters; I mean that it is impossible to believe in the permanence of man's or woman's love. Or, at any rate, it is impossible to believe in the permanence of any early passion. As I see it, at least, with regard to man, a love affair, a love for any definite woman--is something in the nature of a widening of the experience. With each new woman that a man is attracted to there appears to come a broadening of the outlook, or, if you like, an acquiring of new territory. A turn of the eyebrow, a tone of the voice, a queer characteristic gesture--all these things, and it is these things that cause to arise the passion of love--all these things are like so many objects on the horizon of the landscape that tempt a man to walk beyond the horizon, to...

1915年3月，福特·马多克斯·福特的《好兵》（The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion）诞生在一战爆发前那段最绝望、“最悲伤”的日子里。当它第一次出现在伦敦的出版者面前时，小说的标题就叫《最悲伤的故事》。而到了2015年，在BBC列出的100部历史上最伟大的英国小说中，《好...

果真是最悲伤的故事。 福特整个一生的小说创作似乎都在写同一个故事，一个最杰出的英国绅士（”most splendid of three countries”），缠绕在他笃信天主教的妻子和一位年轻纯真的女孩之间——前者折磨他，后者热烈地爱他——慢慢走向灭亡。 为什么爱德华会接连不断地爱上不同...

Although intuitively, art is closely associated with passion, in Ford's The Good Soldier, art has a chilly effect on suppressing passions, insulating people from experiencing their true feelings. During the excursion to the city of M-, the gaiety of Florenc...

最让我感到以外的还是叙事者结尾对Edward和lenora态度的反转；lenora从一个（有点）清教主人公感觉的女主角变成一个天主教的虚伪者。hh

看这本书前发现此书评分很高，那会豆瓣评分有9.8呢，但是评价人数极少。因为书的名气很大我就买了本看看。总体来说这书阅读难度是很大的，首先是叙述手法，倒叙插叙皆有，我看完第一章不知其所云，看到一半云里雾里，等看完的时候才能大致把故事情节串起来，然后借助sparknotes里的情节概括和主题分析搞清楚这本书到底在表达什么。说完了叙述手法，然后就是故事的背景了，这书写于1915年，故事发生时间大致在19... 看这本书前发现此书评分很高，那会豆瓣评分有9.8呢，但是评价人数极少。因为书的名气很大我就买了本看看。总体来说这书阅读难度是很大的，首先是叙述手法，倒叙插叙皆有，我看完第一章不知其所云，看到一半云里雾里，等看完的时候才能大致把故事情节串起来，然后借助sparknotes里的情节概括和主题分析搞清楚这本书到底在表达什么。说完了叙述手法，然后就是故事的背景了，这书写于1915年，故事发生时间大致在1904年前后，两对夫妇相识相交的时间跨度较大，八到十年左右，地点在美国和欧洲。因此此书难度大还在于故事所在的文化背景，地理风貌，宗教习俗等与我国差异较大，我作为一个中国的读者，对作者的很多思想表达和环境感触很难产生共鸣，阅读过程比较痛苦。 (展开)
