Bøker av John Galsworthy

John Galsworthy (1867-1933), novelist and dramatist, is most widely known as the author of The Forsyte Saga, but recent productions testify to the power that his plays still exert over modern audiences and the strength and relevance of the issues he raise

The Forsyte Saga comprises of The Man of Property, In Chancery and To Let, produced in a single volume.

The Forsyte Saga is the first part of John Galsworthy s magnificent, well-loved Forsyte Chronicles, which trace the changing fortunes of the wealthy Forsyte dynasty through fifty years of material triumph and emotional disaster. The Forsyte Saga begins as the nineteenth century is drawing to a close, and the upper middle classes, with their property and propriety, are becoming a dying section of society. The Forsytes are blind to this fact, clinging to their conventions and brilliant respectability . As dignified Soames Forsyte struggles to uphold the old moral code in the face of the social revolution resulting from the Great War, his wife Irene s extraordinary beauty causes even more disruption. The bitter feud between them comes to split the Forsyte family for two generations.
