The Forsyte Saga

I n f o r m a t i o n

»The Forsyte Saga, first published under that title in 1922, is a series of three novels and two interludes published between 1906 and 1921 by the English author John Galsworthy, who won the 1932 Nobel Prize in Literature. They chronicle the vicissitudes of the leading members of a large upper-middle-class English family that is similar to Galsworthy's own. Its members, who are only a few generations removed from their farmer ancestors, are keenly aware of their status as "new money". The main character, the solicitor and connoisseur Soames Forsyte, sees himself as a "man of property" by virtue of his ability to accumulate material possessions, but that status does not succeed in bringing him pleasure.« (Extract from: Wikipedia)
