The story follows Christopher Tietjens, a wealthy British landowner and the last British Tory; his wife, Sylvia; and his mistress, Valentine Wannop. The final entry of \u003cem\u003eParade's End\u003c\/em\u003e continues to depict the challenges of navigating a social and political landscape utterly upended by the Great War. Through the eyes of multiple characters, \u003cem\u003eLast Post\u003c\/em\u003e contextualizes or re-contextualizes the events of previous installments—particularly those surrounding Armistice Day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnique among other literary works depicting the Great War, the \u003cem\u003eParade's End\u003c\/em\u003e tetralogy privileges not the conflict of World War I itself, but the impact the war had on its participants and upon society writ large. It is often referred to as one of the greatest 20th century novels, and one of the best depictions of war in literature. The 2012 television adaptation, written by Tom Stoppard and starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall, was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards and seven BAFTA Television Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dreamscape","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49350911328560,"sku":"BDj8bs","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49350911361328,"sku":"ZEj8bs","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49350911394096,"sku":"ZMj8bs","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/623204-j8bs-Square.jpg?v=1734298909","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-j8bs","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
