Handsome, wealthy, and a veteran of service in India, Captain Edward Ashburnham appears to be the ideal good soldier and the embodiment of English upper-class virtues. But for his creator, Ford Madox Ford, he also represents the corruption at society's core. Beneath Ashburnham's charming, polished exterior lurks a soul well-versed in the arts of deception, hypocrisy, and betrayal. Throughout the nine years of his friendship with an equally privileged American, John Dowell, Ashburnham has been having an affair with Dowell's wife, Florence. Unlike Dowell, Ashburnham's own wife, Leonora, is well aware of it. Digital Content>E-books>Fiction>Fiction>Fiction, Pandora's Box Digital >16<
