The highly anticipated sequel to A DEMON IN SILVER, HANGMAN'S GATE continues the epic saga of the War of the Archons

Ford Madox Ford’s tetralogy set in England during World War I is widely considered one of the best novels of the twentieth century.     First published as four separate novels (Some Do Not…, No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up, and The Last Post) between 1924 and 1928, Parade’s End explores the world of the English ruling class as it descends into the chaos of war.      Christopher Tietjens is an officer from a wealthy family who finds himself torn between his unfaithful socialite wife, Sylvia, and his suffragette mistress, Valentine. A profound portrait of one man’s internal struggles during a time of brutal world conflict, Parade’s End bears out Graham Greene’s prediction that “there is no novelist of this century more likely to live than Ford Madox Ford.”

Dies ist die traurigste Geschichte, die ich je gehört habe. Neun Jahre verbrachten meine Frau und ich in Bad Nauheim in enger, aber zugleich distanzierter Beziehung zu den Ashburnhams. Wir kannten Hauptmann und Mrs. Ashburnham gut, doch blieben sie uns auch fremd. Dies ist ein Zustand, der, glaube ich, nur bei Engländern möglich ist. Bis vor sechs Monaten war ich nie in England und hatte daher nie die Tiefen eines englischen Herzens erkundet, sondern nur seine Untiefen. Obwohl wir viele Engländer trafen, waren wir als unbeschäftigte Amerikaner in Europa oft in die Gesellschaft feinerer Engländer gezogen. Paris war unser Wohnsitz, und wir verbrachten die Sommermonate in Nauheim. Einer von uns hatte es am Herzen, und da meine Frau verstorben ist, war sie die Leidende. Hauptmann Ashburnham hatte ebenfalls Herzprobleme, die ihn jeden Sommer nach Nauheim zogen. Während er dort durch den Sport wieder zu Kräften kam, reichten unsere zwei Monate nur aus, um die arme Florence am Leben zu erhalten. Seine Beschwerden könnten auf Polo oder übermäßigen Sport in seiner Jugend zurückzuführen sein. Die gesundheitlichen Probleme von Florence waren das Ergebnis eines Sturms auf unserer ersten Überfahrt nach Europa, und die Ärzte hatten uns geraten, die kurze Fahrt über den Kanal zu vermeiden, da sie für sie lebensbedrohlich sein könnte.
