BookJustice : a Tragedy in Four Acts
Just because I love novels ...
/Kamala, Azerbaijan
BookThe Forsyte Saga
Mr. Galsworthy does not take his characters' way of life entirely seriously ... but he takes his characters *as* *people* seriously, and that makes all the difference. As a friend to whom I gave the book told me, "Soames Forsyte may be the most sympathetic nasty character I've ever come across." She's right: one would not necessarily want to try a friendship with Soames, but one is not sorry to have had access to his mind. His life is what it is, and the best he could reasonably make it.
/Jinnayah, United States
The most exciting story of human relations.
/Natalia, Russia
The most sophisticated romantic book I have ever read. Anyone can find a favourite character and although it's romantic, it's done so softly and so interesting that many men could become interested. And, at least, victorians rule!
/Lucie Toncevova, Czech Republic
Read this to know what it was to live from 1880-1920 by living with characters who love or despise, accept or struggle to overturn the social constraints of the times. Soames Forsyte, the 'Man of Property' is one of the most unforgettable characters in literature.
