The Forsyte Saga, first published under that name in 1922, is a series of three novels and two interludes published between 1906 and 1921 by Nobel Prize-winning English author John Galsworthy. They chronicle the vicissitudes of the leading members of a large commercial upper 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. Separate sections of the saga, as well as the lengthy story in its entirety, have been adapted for cinema and television. The first book, The Man of Property, was adapted in 1949 by Hollywood as That Forsyte Woman, starring Errol Flynn, Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon and Robert Young. The BBC produced a popular 26-part serial in 1967, that also dramatised a subsequent trilogy concerning the Forsytes, A Modern Comedy. In 2002, Granada Television produced two series for the ITV network called The Forsyte Saga and The Forsyte Saga: To Let, and the two Granada series made their runs in the US as part of Masterpiece Theatre. In 2003, The Forsyte Saga was listed as #123 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel".

Review ''A social satire of epic proportions and one that does not suffer by comparison with Thackeray's Vanity Fair...the whole comedy of manners, convincing both in its fidelity to life and as a work of art.'' --New York Times

About the Author JOHN GALSWORTHY (1867-1933), English novelist and playwright, went to Oxford to study law but turned to literature after he met Joseph Conrad on a voyage. The Man of Property (1906), the first of the 'Forsyte Chronicles', established his reputation. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932.

11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. An old favourite revisited By Robin Joyce The only disappointment I have in revisiting this old favourite is the dreadful edition I have on my kindle. It is full of typos and a really bad advertisement for the kindle edition of this work. Putting that disappointment aside (and I did complete the saga) Galsworthy brings ideas to life through his characters. The 'man of property' and 'the artist' (or several of them) are pitted against each other, the conflict raising not only the ideas about property such as land, houses and art, but the way in which women are viewed. Despite the grave differences in opinion and behaviour exhibited by the characters and the social mores they represent none is entirely unsympathetic. The Forsyte Saga leaves one thinking and ready to read more of Galsworthy.

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. a most delightful classic! By reader Characters, atmosphere, language, everything is so well created.A world is depicted in its entire complexity and vastness, with the same attention to details for character insight and relationships and for the colour of the age.I have throroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it without reserve,

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Galsworthy is not sympathetic to this class and makes this clear in a number of tiresome insertions which do nothing for either By Charles Kovacs This is a classic written almost 100 years ago about three generations of an upper middle class English family from around 1880 through the early 1920's. Galsworthy is not sympathetic to this class and makes this clear in a number of tiresome insertions which do nothing for either the plot or the book. However, he is not didactic and the story is compelling in spite of the author's commentary. Apart from being a good read, these volumes should be of interest to students of English social history, early psychology, and of course English Lit majors. The book has a somewhat satirical tone, excessively so in some places. The plot is somewhat claustrophobic in that the family seems highly insular, even though by the 1880's the British upper middle class was already widely engaged in the British Empire, to say nothing of international trade. In addition, although almost an entire generation of this class was killed in the First World War, the family here had hardly any losses and appears to have been barely touched by the war, except for increased taxes. I would recommend that before starting this saga, readers review Galsworthy's potted biography, say on Wikipedia, and then go on with that in mind.
