Kærlighed, penge og magt er hovedelementet i denne engelske slægtsroman, hvis handling strækker sig over ca. 50 år fra 1870’erne til ca. 1920. Romanseriens gennemgående person er den meget konservative London-sagfører Soames Forsyte. Soames lever i et ulykkeligt og barnløst ægteskab med Irene, der nægter at underkaste sig mandens besiddertrang, hvorfor ægteskabet efter mange år til sidst opløses. Både Soames og Irene gifter sig imidlertid igen og får begge et barn i det nye ægteskab. Soames får hermed den arving og efterfølger, han længe har ønsket sig, men han må erfare, at de nye generationer af Forsyteslægten heller ikke formår at skabe sig en lykkelig tilværelse, fordi de helt eller delvist holder fast ved slægtens traditioner og livssyn. Forsytesagaen er tillige en beretning om sæder og skikke, meninger og fordomme i England gennem det tidsrum, romanen strækker sig over. Oversat af Ingeborg M.

Forsytesagaen

Forsytesagaen 1

Forsytesagaen 2

The Man of Property, first published 1906, is the first novel in the trilogy The Forsyte Saga, a series of three novels and two interludes published between 1906 and 1921 by Nobel Prize-winning English author John Galsworthy. In 2003, The Forsyte Saga was listed on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel". A titanic masterpiece - nine hundred pages of a multi-generational story of a fictional English family that spans the Victorian, Edwardian, and post-World War I eras. It's the story of the Forsyte family, spanning several generations and several wars, and its obsession with "property." The Forsyte Saga comprises a novel, The Man of Property, an interlude, Indian Summer of a Forsyte, a second novel, In Chancery, a second interlude, Awakening, and a third novel To Let. They chronicle the vicissitudes of the leading members of a large commercial upper middle-class English family, similar to Galsworthy's own. Only a few generations removed from their farmer ancestors, the family members are keenly aware of their status as "new money". The main character, Soames Forsyte, sees himself as a "man of property" by virtue of his ability to accumulate material possessions—but this does not succeed in bringing him pleasure. Also included in this edition is Indian Summer of a Forsyte, the first interlude in The Forsyte Saga. After the first trilogy The Forsyte Saga, Galsworthy wrote two additional sequels (also each a trilogy); Modern Comedy and End of the Chapter, which form what is commonly referred to as The Forsyte Cronicles. John Galsworthy was an English novelist and playwright. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1932. The Nobel committee usually gives the prize for a lifetime of work, but in their decision, they specifically noted that Galsworthy deserved the prize “for his distinguished art of narration which takes its highest form in The Forsyte Saga.”

Forsyte-sagaen

Høstsol

Da John Galsworthy hadde avsluttet den første delen av Forsyte-sagaen, fortsatte fremdeles disse menneskeskjebnene å leve i hans fantasi, han kunne ikke slippe dem ut av tanke og sinn. Derfor fulgte "På Forsyte-børsen" - nye episoder fra Forsyte-slektens liv, fortellinger som utdyper kjennskapet til eldre og yngre generasjoner av slekten. Blant litteraturkritikere og essayister verden over regnes "På Forsyte-børsen" som slektssagaens mest interessante bok.

På Forsyte-børsen

Vi møter Forsyte-familien i 1880-årenes London. Hovedpersonen, Soames, står som representant for familiens mest karakteristiske egenskap, deres lidenskapelige eiertrang. Også hustruen, Irene, betrakter han som sin personlige eiendom. Irene - på sin side - har aldri elsket sin mann. Hun føler seg kjøpt og betalt, som alt annet han eier. I et familieselskap møter hun den unge arkitekten Philip Bosinney, som er forlovet med en slektning av Soames. De to blir stormende forelsket...

Den rike mann

Jo og Irene har giftet seg og bor nå på Robin Hill. "Skygger fra fortiden" åpner med mellomspillet om Johns barndom og hans nære forhold til moren. Handlingen føres frem til 1920-årene, nye bevegede tider i Forsytenes liv. De gamle går etterhvert bort og nye generasjoner vokser opp. Soames og Irene, som aldri kan tilgi hverandre, opplever noe som for begge føles som en tragedie: Hans datter og hennes sønn forelsker seg i hverandre!

Skygger fra fortiden

Etter Jolyons død er Jo utnevnt til Irenes verge og de to føler seg stadig sterkere knyttet til hverandre. Det har gått tolv år siden Irene reiste fra Soames men fremdeles motsetter han seg skilsmisse. Samtidig blir han mer og mer opptatt av ønsket om en sønn og arving. Til slutt må han innse at Irene aldri vil komme tilbake til han og skilsmissen er et faktum. Han gifter seg med den unge franske kvinnen Annette, og selv om han egentlig ikke elsker sin nye hustru, er hans lykke fullkommen da de får et barn, datteren Fleur.

Skilsmisse

In Chancery

The subject of the second interlude is the naive and exuberant lifestyle of eight-year-old Jon Forsyte. He loves and is loved by his parents. He has an idyllic youth, his every desire indulged.

Awakening

“Flowering Wilderness” is a literary work written by John Galsworthy in 1932.This work is as if it were in its own right and does not intend to continue the story of the Forsytes. It's a prose offering discussions of significant social and moral issues revisited in a gently ironic key. Galsworthy's work here is more to ask questions that answer and that is why the book offers useful insights for any personal opinion ...

Flowering Wilderness

Maid in Waiting (1931) is the beginning novel in the trilogy of John Galsworthy ‘s Forsyte Chronicles.The story tells of the loves and losses, and fortunes, of life and death of the fictional but representatively and Victorian landowner Forsyte family. The Forsyte Chronicles is regarded as one of the most popular literary works of the twentieth century and is basically a social satire of large proportion.

Maid in Waiting

Pasjonujący cykl powieściowy, który przyniósł Johnowi Galsworthy’emu literacką Nagrodę Nobla! „Nowoczesna komedia” to kolejna trylogia powieściowa poświęcona rodzinie Forsyte'ów. W jej skład wchodzą „Biała małpa” (1924), „Milczące zaloty. Srebrna łyżka” (1926) i „Miłający się w mroku. Łabędzi śpiew” (1928). Następuje tu metamorfoza głównego bohatera, Soamesa, który z egoisty i dorobkiewicza przeistacza się w dostojnego, uduchowionego dżentelmena. Pokolenie, które Galsworthy wcześniej krytykował za zdradę wartości ogólnoludzkich, staje się teraz według niego ich nosicielem; krytyce poddana zostaje natomiast najmłodsza generacja, przesiąknięta hedonizmem i nihilizmem.

Året er 1891, da den unge George Pendyce besøger sine forældres landsted, Worsted Skeynes, for at deltage i en jagt. Her møder han den smukke og meget fascinerende Mrs. Bellew, og de to indleder hurtigt en affære. De lever dog i en tid, hvor den slags udenomsægteskabelige forhold kan udvikle sig til en skandale, der vil betyde social udstødelse for dem begge … John Galsworthy (1867-1933) var en britisk forfatter og dramatiker. Mest kendt er han for romanserien "Forsytesagaen", der skildrer en engelsk overklassefamilies liv i årene fra slutningen af 1800-tallet og frem til 1920‘erne. I 1932 modtog han Nobelprisen i litteratur.

Spilleren

Richard Shelton er en usædvanlig, ung mand. Han tilhører den engelske overklasse, men han ser ikke, som så mange af sine socialt ligestillede, ned på dem, der tilhører de lavere klasser. I stedet møder han de fattige og trængende som ligeværdige individer – med fare for at blive udstødt af sine egne. John Galsworthy (1867-1933) var en britisk forfatter og dramatiker.

Den engelske kunstner Mark Lannon er en lidenskabelig mand med sans for æstetik og skønne kvinder. Jo mere forbudt og uopnåelig en kvinde forekommer ham, jo mere begærer han hende. I forbindelse med sine studier ved Oxford Universitet tager underviseren Harold Stormer den unge virtuos under sine vinger. Stormer er interesseret i Lannons akademiske evner, men hvad Stormer ikke ved er, at hans hustru Anna har en langt mindre uskyldig fascination af den charmerende Mark. Anna åbenbarer sin forbudte passion med en symbolsk blomst, og det bliver startskuddet for en lang række farlige og forførende forbindelser i Mark Lannons liv. Den britiske forfatter og dramatiker John Galsworthy (1867-1933) skrev både romaner, noveller, essays og skuespil, og han er nok mest kendt for romantrilogien "Forsytesagaen", der skildrer en engelsk overklassefamilies tilværelse i årene 1886-1926. Han behandler og problematiserer det hierarkiske engelske samfund og dets dekadente overklasse i mange af sine fortællinger. John Galsworthy blev tildelt Nobelprisen i litteratur i 1932.

The Silver Spoon

In a short interlude after The Man of Property, Galsworthy delves into the newfound friendship between Irene and Old Jolyon Forsyte (June's grandfather, and by now the owner of the house Soames had built). This attachment gives Old Jolyon pleasure, but exhausts his strength. He leaves Irene money in his will with Young Jolyon, his son, as trustee. In the end Old Jolyon dies under an ancient oak tree in the garden of the Robin Hill house.

Indian Summer of a Forsyte

In Chancery is the second novel of the Forsyte Saga trilogy by John Galsworthy and was published in 1920, . Like its predecessor it focuses on the personal affairs of a wealthy upper middle class English family. The novel concentrates on the marital failures of Soames Forsyte and to a lesser extent that of his sister Winifred Dartie and on the building antipathy between Soames and his cousin Young Jolyon Forsyte who develops a friendship with Soames' estranged wife Irene. This friendship eventually leads to an affair and Irene's divorce from Soames....

To let is the final novel of the trilogy Forsyte. The story is a continuation of the struggle between the two factions within that family: now the shadow of the past comes back to haunt a new generation's life: the son of Jon and Irene falls in tormented love with Soames's daughter Fleur, with tragic consequences...

To Let

"The Silver spoon" is a literary work that is part of the second trilogy of the Forsyte saga by John Galsworthy between 1906 and 1921. Fleur and Michael Mont show features of high society in their new and elegant House. As always, the father of Fleur, Soames Forsyte, is constantly at his daughter's side and watch over her. But London, after the war, became a libertine, place in which are increasingly evident and carefree attitudes, light things very alarming for a conservative mentality like that of Fleur: just when you think he's protecting his daughter, Fleur is found to trigger a major social scandal….

“Over the river” (1933) is a novel that ends the "trilogy of Dinny" and is especially a great slice of English life (along the nearly fifty years between 1886 and 1932) described by Galsworthy through this and the previous trilogy (“Forsyte saga “and “A modern comedy”). This literary work is the last of the author and the reader will notice several internal calls, Parallels, but also contrasts that clarify the political and moral vision of Galsworthy ....

Over The River

In "Beyond," John Galsworthy explores the intricate dynamics of love, ambition, and moral dilemmas within a rapidly changing society. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, the novel employs a narrative style that deftly intertwines realism with poignant psychological insight. The characters, richly developed and multifaceted, grapple with their emotions amidst societal expectations, creating a tapestry that reflects the complexities of human relationships. Galsworthy's keen observation of the human condition and his socio-political commentary poignantly illuminate the tension between individual desires and communal responsibilities. John Galsworthy, a prominent figure in English literature and a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932, was born into a wealthy family and educated at Harrow and University College, London. His experiences in law and his keen interest in social reform deeply influenced his writing. Galsworthy's exposure to the struggles of the working class, alongside his own privileged background, compelled him to address the inequalities of his time, making "Beyond" a resonant examination of the conflicts faced by individuals seeking fulfillment in an increasingly commercialized world. I highly recommend "Beyond" for readers interested in a nuanced narrative that transcends time, navigating the complexities of human emotions with sensitivity and depth. Galsworthy's masterful prose invites readers to reflect on their own moral landscapes, making this novel not just a story, but a profound exploration of the human experience.

Beyond

In "The Patrician," John Galsworthy presents a profound exploration of class, identity, and the moral dilemmas faced by the British gentry in the early 20th century. The narrative unfurls through the life of the protagonist, a wealthy but introspective aristocrat, grappling with the expectations of his social standing and the encroaching forces of modernity. Galsworthy'Äôs literary style is characterized by his keen psychological insight and elegant prose, encapsulating the inner turmoil of his characters against the backdrop of a society in flux. This novel resonates with themes of duty, love, and the search for personal authenticity within the rigid frameworks of class distinction, reflecting the social tensions of the Edwardian era and the looming challenges of change. John Galsworthy, an eminent figure in early 20th-century literature and a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, draws upon his own experiences as a member of the upper class to inform his characterizations and themes. His acute awareness of societal structures and inherent contradictions stemmed from his background and education, instilling in him a profound empathy for those who navigated the rigid hierarchies of British society. Galsworthy's literary oeuvre often reflects his commitment to social reform and a deep analysis of moral responsibility. Readers interested in a nuanced examination of class relations and the human psyche will find "The Patrician" a compelling and enriching endeavor. Galsworthy'Äôs deft storytelling, combined with his philosophical contemplations, makes this novel not only a reflection of its time but also a timeless meditation on the complexities of human nature. For those seeking to understand the intricate dance between privilege and conscience, this work is an essential addition to any literary collection.

The Patrician

This book is written by John Galsworthy in 1924. Fleur Forsyte is now married to Michael Mont, but the marriage is haunted by the ghost of a past love story . Fleur is an unhappiness woman , but Michael want to save is marriage , also finds himself caught in another tragic and moving story……

This book was written by Jhon Galsworthy in 1906. It tells of the Forsyte saga, a wealthy family, whose values are at war with costantentemente passions of the householder Soames. This is the story of the marriage between Soames and Irene, beautiful and rebellious. The Forsyte saga is a brilliant social satire.

"The Forsyte Saga" was the title originally destined for that part of it which is called "The Man of Property"; and to adopt it for the collected chronicles of the Forsyte family has indulged the Forsytean tenacity that is in all of us. The word Saga might be objected to on the ground that it connotes the heroic and that there is little heroism in these pages. But it is used with a suitable irony; and, after all, this long tale, though it may deal with folk in frock coats, furbelows, and a gilt-edged period, is not devoid of the essential heat of conflict. Discounting for the gigantic stature and blood-thirstiness of old days, as they have come down to us in fairy-tale and legend, the folk of the old Sagas were Forsytes, assuredly, in their possessive instincts, and as little proof against the inroads of beauty and passion as Swithin, Soames, or even Young Jolyon. And if heroic figures, in days that never were, seem to startle out from their surroundings in fashion unbecoming to a Forsyte of the Victorian era, we may be sure that tribal instinct was even then the prime force, and that "family" and the sense of home and property counted as they do to this day, for all the recent efforts to "talk them out." So many people have written and claimed that their families were the originals of the Forsytes that one has been almost encouraged to believe in the typicality of an imagined species. Manners change and modes evolve, and "Timothy's on the Bayswater Road" becomes a nest of the unbelievable in all except essentials; we shall not look upon its like again, nor perhaps on such a one as James or Old Jolyon. And yet the figures of Insurance Societies and the utterances of Judges reassure us daily that our earthly paradise is still a rich preserve, where the wild raiders, Beauty and Passion, come stealing in, filching security from beneath our noses.

The Forsyte Saga

In "The First and the Last," John Galsworthy crafts a poignant narrative that explores the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations in early 20th-century England. Through his signature realistic style, Galsworthy delves into the moral ambiguities faced by individuals caught between personal desires and social obligations. The novella presents a duality in its exploration of love and ambition, ultimately examining how these themes intertwine to define the characters' trajectories. Rich in symbolism and layered with emotional depth, this work reflects the author'Äôs preoccupation with the intersection of private and public life, illustrating the lingering effects of choices made.
