Powieść wszechczasów w nowym, pięknym wydaniu! Londyn, 1886 rok. Spotkanie na zaręczynowym przyjęciu staje się początkiem dramatycznych zdarzeń, które na zawsze dzielą zamożną mieszczańską rodzinę Forsyte'ów, a ich losy przez następne kilkadziesiąt lat śledzimy w trzech tomach tej mistrzowskiej powieści. Żaden z utworów Johna Galsworthy'ego, laureata literackiej Nagrody Nobla, nie cieszył się taką poczytnością jak Saga rodu Forsyte'ów. Co decyduje o tym, że ta książka intryguje czytelników do dziś? Krytycy pisali o epickim rozmachu i kronikarskim obiektywizmie, starannie wyważonej narracji, bezstronności i chłodnym dystansie w kreowaniu bohaterów. Zgoda, ale jest jeszcze jeden walor - psychologia. Mistrzowskie operowanie introspekcją, opisy wahań moralnych i uczuciowych, finezyjne wyrażanie stanów wewnętrznych, szczególnie w sytuacjach krańcowych - oto wartości, które decydują o tym, że Saga rodu Forsyte'ów brzmi ciągle świeżo i współcześnie. To one sprawiły, że książka była wielokrotnie ekranizowana, a ostatnia wersja serialu na jej podstawie zainspirowała m.in. twórców Downton Abbey. …za jego wybitną sztukę opowiadania, której najwyższą formą jest Saga rodu Forsyte’'ów. Uzasadnienie przyznania Johnowi Galsworthy’emu w 1932 r. Literackiej Nagrody Nobla .
