  • "The first of a three part family saga."@en
  • "The beginning of the history of an upper-middle-class English family of the late 19th century. The most progressive member of the family is Soames, the 'man of property', but he has problems in his marriage."@en
  • "The Man of Property, the first novel in Galsworthy's epic social satire The Forsyte Saga, introduces us to Soames Forsyte, a solicitor and prominent man of his important family. Accustomed to getting whatever he wants, he sets his sights with absolute determination on the beautiful Irene, in spite of her pennilessness and her indifference to him. Irene, a lover of art and beauty, eventually accepts his marriage proposal over a life of degraded poverty, but she swears to Soames that she will never be his property. When all his money fails to make up for the absence of love and Irene falls for a young architect, Soames resolves to force the obedience he could not buy."@en
  • "The first of the novels of the Forsyte Saga. Introduces the Forsyte family, shown in their attempt to insulate themselves from the disintegration of the class structure."@en
  • "This begins the famous saga of a British upper-middle class family, the family patriarch Soames, artist Jolyon, the alluring Irene and others."@en
  • "Soames Forsyte's great desire to own things even extends to his captivating wife, Irene. Jealous of her friendships with others, he concocts a plan to move her away to the countryside, where he might come to own her completely. Resisting his bitter intentions, she falls for architect Philip Bossiney, who is unfortunately engaged to her best friend (and Soames' cousin), June Forsyte."@en

  • "Seeking to insulate themselves by property from reality and the disintegration of their class, the Forsytes are gradually blinded to the threats of social change."
  • "The Man of Property begins as a crushing satire on the narrow-minded lawyers, merchants and bankers who made up John Galsworthy's claustrophobic, upper-middle-class world. All that is worst in this acquisitive, soulless breed is personified by Soames Forsyte. Yet far from condemning Soames, Galsworthy goes deep into his psyche; instead of despising this anti-hero, the reader comes to understand and even pity him..."
  • "In the waning years of the nineteenth century, the Forsytes are part of a rapidly diminishing social circle, clinging to a crumbling status quo."@en
