John Galsworthy: The Forsyte Saga, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy is a series of novels that traces the rise and decline of the wealthy Forsyte family in late 19th- and early 20th-century England. At its heart is Soames Forsyte, a successful but possessive lawyer whose troubled marriage to the beautiful Irene highlights the conflict between materialism and emotional fulfillment. The saga explores themes of love, betrayal, changing social values, and the clash between old Victorian ideals and the emerging modern world. Through multiple generations of the Forsytes, Galsworthy presents a vivid portrait of an upper-middle-class family clinging to property, tradition, and status while struggling to adapt to personal desires and social change.
