The Forsyte Saga – (PDF/EPUB Version)

The Forsyte Saga is a series of three novels and two interludes, they chronicle the vicissitudes of the leading members of an upper-middle-class British 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.
