Born into a wealthy family, John Galsworthy initially pursued law but found his true calling in literature. His secret affair with Ada Nemesis Pearson Cooper led to their marriage after her divorce. Galsworthy's early works were published under the pen name John Sinjohn, but he gained recognition with "The Island Pharisees." Known for his exploration of social class and the complexities of upper-middle-class life, Galsworthy's writings address issues like women's rights and moral constraints. He received the Nobel Prize in 1932, leaving a lasting legacy in literature.
