The reading public is offered the first book of the trilogy by Nobel laureate John Galsworthy "The Forsyte Saga" – "The Man of Property". The life of the upper class in London is of considerable interest to those who want to know how to behave without losing face, without openly displaying any emotions, without degrading their dignity, while maintaining propriety, despite the fact that behind the facade of decency and respectability in the large Forsyte family, common human passions rage: love, betrayal, infidelity, death, the desire for revenge, – and where the fundamental feeling is that of possession.
Some researchers of Galsworthy’s work equate him – in terms of language complexity and depth of thought – with Leo Tolstoy, which is why the book contains an extensive glossary and many comments, so that the reader can fully appreciate this most famous work about the life of the "cream of the nation" in Victorian England.
The unadapted text in the original language is accompanied by an extensive glossary and detailed comments.
The book is intended for students of language universities and all lovers of English literature.
