The Forsyte Saga: Complete Volumes I-III

The Forsyte Saga: Complete Volumes I-III

The Monumental Chronicle of Passion, Possession, and the Decay of an Era. "He was a man of property, and he looked upon his wife as his property, too." Soames Forsyte is the embodiment of the Victorian upper-middle class: wealthy, successful, and obsessed with ownership. To him, beauty is something to be collected, secured, and controlled. But when he marries the penniless but captivating Irene, he discovers that there are things in this world that cannot be owned. The Forsyte Saga is John Galsworthy’s Nobel Prize-winning masterpiece, a sweeping family epic that spans generations. It dissects the lives of the Forsytes—a clan bound by money and tradition—as they confront the changing tides of the modern world, the scandal of divorce, and the unstoppable force of love. This complete edition collects the first three pivotal volumes of the cycle: Volume 1: The Man of Property – The tragic beginning of Soames's marriage and the construction of the fateful house at Robin Hill. - Volume 2: Indian Summer of a Forsyte & In Chancery – A tender interlude and the deepening legal and emotional wars between Soames and Irene. - Volume 3: Awakening & To Let – The saga concludes as the sins of the parents visit the next generation.
