La Fin d'une parade Séries

Cette tétralogie acclamée juxtapose les vies d'un homme d'honneur à l'ancienne dont le monde est brisé par la Première Guerre mondiale.

La série est célébrée pour son récit moderniste, dans le style du flux de conscience, et ses profondes études de personnages, qui remettent en question les notions conventionnelles de devoir et de moralité.
