Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
John Galsworthy's "The Forsyte Saga" unfolds a rich tapestry of Edwardian society through the lives of the Forsyte family, a wealthy and interlinked clan that epitomizes the era's materialistic values and social mores. Spanning three novels and interlaced stories, Galsworthy employs a realistic narrative style with intricate character development and a strong sense of place, illuminating the conflicts between individuality and societal expectations. The work not only explores themes of property, love, and betrayal but also serves as a critique of the bourgeois ethos, reflecting the author's concerns about the erosion of human values amidst rising capitalism. Galsworthy, born into a prosperous family of solicitors, possessed keen insights into the upper-middle-class society that he chronically depicted. His own experiences, coupled with his membership in the intellectual circles of the time, informed his portrayal of the conflicts inherent in human relationships and the quest for authenticity within a conformist framework. Galsworthy's commitment to social reform further enriches the novella, lending it an ethos deeply rooted in the evolving social landscape of early 20th-century England. For readers seeking a profound exploration of societal dynamics and human emotion, "The Forsyte Saga" is an essential read. Galsworthy masterfully captures the essence of a changing era and its impact on personal identity, creating a powerful commentary that resonates with contemporary themes of family, class, and self-discovery.
Giới thiệu tác giả
John Galsworthy (1867-1933) was an English novelist and playwright, renowned for his insightful portrayal of the British upper middle class. Born into a wealthy and established family, Galsworthy attended Harrow and New College, Oxford, where he studied law, but his passion for literature led him to pursue writing as a career. He first gained critical acclaim with his play 'The Silver Box' (1906), but it is his monumental work, 'The Forsyte Saga,' that remains his masterpiece and for which he is best remembered. Comprised of three novels – 'The Man of Property' (1906), 'In Chancery' (1920), and 'To Let' (1921) – and two interludes, 'Indian Summer of a Forsyte' (1918) and 'Awakening' (1920), the series chronicles the lives, loves, and losses of the prosperous Forsyte family from the Victorian era through the tumult of the early twentieth century. Galsworthy's literary style is marked by his narrative eloquence and a keen observation of social mores, which he employed to critique the moral shortcomings of the British aristocracy. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932, he was celebrated for his thoughtful depiction of social issues and his commitment to humanism. Today, scholars and readers alike continue to explore Galsworthy's prolific contributions to English literature, with 'The Forsyte Saga' serving as a seminal work that offers a window into the complexities of human relationships against a backdrop of societal change.
