by John Galsworthy

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
Volume 3: Awakening and To Let
