The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion

The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion

In 1998, the Modern Library ranked The Good Soldier 30th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. Set just before World War I, the novel is told using a series of flashbacks in non-chronological order, through a rather unreliable narrator; for as it turns out, the story is not what we are led to believe at the beginning. The novelâ€™s original title was â€œThe Saddest Storyâ€, from the novels opening lines â€œThis is the saddest story I have ever heardâ€; however, with the onset of World War I, the publishers asked Ford for a new title, to which he sarcastically suggested â€œThe Good Soldierâ€, and so it was named.
