Country House, by John Galsworthy

English novelist and playwright John Galsworthy was one of the most acclaimed writers of his time, and his fan base has continued to expand in the years since his death as new generations of readers discover his work. The Country House touches on many same themes that Galsworthy's best-known works explore, including the tribulations facing a new class of landed gentry in nineteenth-century England.

  • "This 1907 novel later specifically cited by the Nobel Committee is set in an English country house that stands as a microcosm of genteel society, where Victorian mores are coming into conflict with the realities of modern industrial life. When young George Pendyce falls for a common woman, the cracks in his family life are revealed."

  • "The year was 1891, the month October, the day Monday. In the dark outside the railway station at Worsted Skeynes Mr. Horace Pendyce's omnibus, his brougham, his luggage-cart, monopolized space. The face of Mr. Horace Pendyce's coachman monopolized the light of the solitary station lantern. Rosy-gilled, with fat close-clipped grey whiskers and inscrutably pursed lips, it presided high up in the easterly air like an emblem of the feudal system."@en
  • "Román, napsaný v období největšího rozmachu Galsworthyho tvůrčích sil, je ideově blízký "Ostrovu pokrytců". Sbližuje je zejména analysa pokrytectví, konservatismu a šosáctví anglických vyšších vrstev, representovaných v románě nejvýrazněji rodinou venkovského šlechtice Horáce Peudyce. Konflikt jeho syna Jiřího s rodinnými tradicemi je sice vyřešen smírně, ale Galsworthyho ironie je sarkasmus a zejména pronikavý realistický pohled odhalují naprosto přesvědčivě prohnilost anglických "venkovských sídel"."
