Galsworthy, John

Volume I of "The Forsyte Saga" by John Galsworthy introduces readers to "The Man of Property." In this seminal work, Galsworthy delves into the lives, aspirations, and hidden desires of the Forsyte family, emblematic of the British upper-middle class at the turn of the 20th century. The narrative pivots around Soames Forsyte, the titular 'man of property,' who symbolizes the materialism and possessiveness of the Victorian bourgeoisie. His turbulent relationship with his wife, Irene, becomes a focal point, reflecting not just personal tensions but also larger societal shifts. Through a rich tapestry of familial ties, betrayals, and passions, Galsworthy critiques the mores of an era, highlighting the clash between personal desires and societal expectations.
