The Forsyte Saga. In 2 volumes

John Golsourcy (1867-1933) is the famous English prose writer and playwright, Nobel Laureate in Literature (1932) awarded to him for the family chronicle "Saga of Forsytes". This is a novel in which the author put so much personal that it seems inextricably grown together with his heroes. Three generations of Forsytes, a stable, unshakable middle class of Victorian England. The only thing that the power of their money does not apply to is the beauty: inaccessible, mysterious, incomprehensible. "Owner" Soms, the main character, is Snob, arrogant and inhospitable, completely devoid of charm. But instead of rejection, it causes readers of many generations hot sympathy and compassion. Being "typical representatives", all the heroes of Golsourcy are the power of his genius! - They remained living people. Golsourcy"s handwriting is distinguished by merciless objectivity. He, like no one, managed to portray painful mental torment, hidden under purely English external impermeability, grounding pathetics with irony. Some fragments of the novel are written in unexpectedly lyrical tones, and one cannot be surprised that this great book makes today"s reader empathize with the heroes and live their life, no matter how far it is in time. The first book of the two -volume “Saga of Forsytes" included the novels" Owner "," In the loop "and the interludie" Last Summer Forsyt ". The second book of the two -volume “Saga of Forsytes "entered the novel” surrendered in the same way, the “awakening" interludie and the chosen stories from the cycle "on the Forsytsk exchange"
