The Forsyte Saga

A cornerstone of modern literature from Nobel Prize–winning author John Galsworthy, The Forsyte Saga stands as a sweeping portrait of an upper-middle-class family struggling beneath the weight of its own wealth, pride, and propriety.

At its heart lies the turbulent marriage of Soames Forsyte—unyielding, possessive, and deeply conscious of status—and the luminous, strong-willed Irene. Their fractured union sends ripples through the entire Forsyte clan, exposing the fault lines between restraint and desire, tradition and change. With incisive wit and unflinching clarity, Galsworthy lays bare both the vanities and the virtues of a class clinging to its comforts in a rapidly shifting world.

This volume brings together the trilogy in full—The Man of Property, In Chancery, and To Let—as well as the bridging interludes Indian Summer of a Forsyte and Awakening, creating a complete and immersive chronicle of the Forsytes’ rise, decline, and lasting legacy.
