The Forsyte Saga. The Man of Property. The Forsyte Saga

The first book of the trilogy by Nobel laureate John Galsworthy "The Forsyte Saga" – "The Man of Property" – is presented for the attention of the reading public. The life of high society in London is of considerable interest... to those who wish to know how to behave, without losing face, without openly showing any emotions, without humiliating one's own dignity, while observing propriety, even though behind the facade of decorum and decency, the great Forsyte family is raging with universal human passions: love, betrayal, infidelity, death, the desire for revenge, – where the fundamental feeling is the sense of ownership.Some researchers of Galsworthy's work equate him – in terms of the complexity of language and depth of thought – to Leo Tolstoy, which is why the book includes an extensive dictionary and a wealth of commentary, 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 supplemented with an extensive dictionary and detailed comments.The book is intended for students of language universities and all lovers of English literature.
