by John Galsworthy
John Galsworthy, a Nobel Prize-winning author, chronicles the ebbing social power of the commercial upper-middle-class Forsyte family through three generations, beginning in Victorian London during the 1880s and ending in the early 1920s.

The Forsyte Saga, first published under that title in 1922, is a series of three novels and two interludes published between 1906 and 1921. They chronicle the vicissitudes of the leading members of a large upper-middle-class English family that is similar to Galsworthy’s. Only a few generations removed from their farmer ancestors, its members 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 does not succeed in bringing him pleasure.
Volume 1: The Man of Property
Volume 2: Indian Summer of a Forsyte and In Chancery

First published in 1945, Cannery Row focuses on the acceptance of life as it is—both the exuberance of community and the loneliness of the individual. John Steinbeck draws on his memories of the real inhabitants of Monterey, California, and interweaves their stories in this world where only the fittest survive—creating what is at once one of his most humorous and poignant works.
