À propos de cet e-book
John Galsworthy's "The Forsyte Saga - Complete" presents a profound exploration of the rise and fall of a wealthy English family over three generations, encapsulating the societal changes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Crafted in a richly detailed prose style, Galsworthy employs a narrative structure that intertwines personal and collective histories, reflecting on themes such as property, class, and the constraints of social convention. This comprehensive saga comprises nine novels and interludes, offering a panoramic view of an evolving society, marked by the tensions between individual desires and familial loyalty amid the backdrop of an industrializing England. Galsworthy, a keen observer of human behavior and a member of the Forsyte family's class, was profoundly impacted by the social dynamics of his time. Born into a prosperous family, he articulated the struggles of a bourgeois class caught between tradition and modernity. His own experiences with the intricacies of wealth, love, and social expectation deeply informed the characters and conflicts within this saga, allowing him to weave a narrative that resonates with authenticity and critique of his contemporaries. I highly recommend "The Forsyte Saga" to readers who appreciate sagacious literature rich in character development and social commentary. Galsworthy's insightful portrayal of the complexities of familial bonds and the moral dilemmas of wealth ensures that this work remains relevant and engaging, offering both historical resonance and timeless human insight.
À propos de l'auteur
John Galsworthy (1867–1933) was an English novelist and playwright, renowned for his keen observation of Victorian and Edwardian upper middle-class life. Galsworthy's literary career was marked by his insightful portrayal of the British gentry and their struggles with social change during the turn of the 20th century. His notable work 'The Forsyte Saga - Complete' constitutes a series of three novels and two interludes that chronicle the ebbing social power of the commercial upper-middle class Forsyte family between the 1880s and 1920s. Galsworthy's prose style is distinguished by a delicacy of phrase and a dispassionate, subtly ironic tone. He employs detailed narratives and an omniscient viewpoint to explore the social dynamics and human frailties within his characters' lives. The 'Saga' not only reflects Galsworthy's critique on the rigid and often hypocritical mores of the time but also showcases his narrative abilities and craftsmanship in depicting complex relationships and moral dilemmas. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932, Galsworthy has been acclaimed for his works that have made salient contributions to English literature, shedding light on the class structure and the social issues of his day.
