This book, written in the novel genre, tells about the life and creative path of an English writer of the first half of the 20th century. John Galsworthy (1867–1933). A detailed description of the events of his personal life is given against the background of the political and social life of Great Britain. Much attention is paid to the author's difficult relationships with Ada Galsworthy (Cooper) and Margaret Morris. The novels and especially the plays of John Galsworthy were a huge success; These were the plays that “everyone was waiting for,” because in them the author sharply criticized the social situation in the country. The most popular was his “Forsyte Saga,” a multi-volume “family chronicle” that gave a broad and deep panorama of life in England at the end of the 19th century and the first third of the 20th century. The saga has been filmed several times, remaining popular today. Of great interest are Galsworthy’s statements about art, drama and the writer’s work. The famous critic Edward Garnett noted in one of his letters to him: “Your view of life is characterized by poetry, which blows from the pages of the novel like fresh wind through an open window.” The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
