Modern Classics Forsyte Saga

Libro Usado, Tapa Blanda. The standard synopsis for the Penguin Modern Classics edition of John Galsworthy's The Forsyte Saga highlights the tension between material wealth and human emotion. The narrative serves as a panoramic chronicle of a wealthy upper-middle-class family, the Forsytes, from the height of the Victorian era to the aftermath of the First World War. At the absolute center of the saga is Soames Forsyte, a wealthy solicitor who views everything—including his beautiful, unhappy wife Irene—as a piece of personal property. The central conflict erupts when Irene falls in love with an idealistic architect, setting off a devastating chain of betrayals, lawsuits, and deep intergenerational feuds that echo through the family for decades.
