Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"A Modern Comedy. 3 Swan Song" is the poignant and powerful conclusion to John Galsworthy's second trilogy within the monumental Forsyte Chronicles. Set against the turbulent social landscape of mid-1920s England, this volume brings the story of the Forsyte family to a dramatic and elegiac peak. The narrative centers on Fleur Forsyte as she grapples with her enduring obsession for her cousin, Jon Forsyte, a passion that threatens to dismantle the fragile stability of her life and marriage.As the nation faces the upheaval of the 1926 General Strike, the aging Soames Forsyte-the legendary "Man of Property"-finds himself navigating a world that has discarded the Victorian certainties of his youth. Through Soames's eyes, the work explores the profound transition from the rigid traditions of the past to the restless modernity of the post-war era. "Swan Song" is a masterful study of duty, unrequited love, and the inevitable passage of time. Galsworthy's Nobel Prize-winning prose captures the twilight of an era, offering a rich tapestry of human emotion and social commentary that remains a cornerstone of early twentieth-century literary realism. This volume stands as a testament to the enduring complexity of the Forsyte legacy and the bittersweet nature of progress.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
