In Chancery, Awakening, To Let by John Galsworthy

Автор: andrey4444. Опубликовано в Джон Голсуорси

The Forsyte Saga is John Galsworthy's monumental chronicle of the lives of the moneyed Forsytes, a family whose values are constantly at war with its passions. The story of Soames Forsyte's marriage to the beautiful and rebellious Irene, and its effects upon the whole Forsyte clan, The Forsyte Saga is a brilliant social satire of the acquisitive sensibilities of a comfort-bound class in its final glory. Galsworthy spares none of his characters, revealing their weaknesses and shortcomings as clearly as he does the tenacity and perseverance that define the strongest members of the Forsyte family.
"In Chancery" — the turn of the ХIХ and ХХ centuries, the Anglo-Boer war, the end of the Victorian era, before the collapse of seemingly immutable orders and traditions... Soames Forsyte trying to rebuild their tangled family relationships, to escape from the loop resulting from the break-up with first wife Irene, and create a new family...
"To Let" — the history of the family clan, representatives of the big bourgeoisie, in whose destinies as in a mirror, reflected the fate of England at a critical period of the late XIX — early XX century. The era of modernism, the First world, "jazz culture" of the 20th — three generations of the Forsyte reflect, it seems that all the personality types in these periods. But this typical image heroes Galsworthy’s Saga — only frame for a really interesting, fascinating narrative about men and women, love and betrayal, jealousy and hatred, friendship and betrayal.
