Eto - Fler, doch Somsa, ee muzh Majkl, poet Uilfrid Dezert i svetskaja lvitsa Mardzhori, otkryto prezrevshaja khanzheskuju viktorianskuju moral. Fler snova vstretitsja s Dzhonom, synom Iren; ona schastliva. I tolko Soms bezoshibochno chuvstvuet nadvigajuschujusja katastrofu... Molodezh - i starshee pokolenie; poslevoennaja Anglija; peremeny vo vsem, no "forsajtskoe nachalo" ostaetsja neizmennym. Perevod s angl. Rity Rajt-Kovalevoj, Marii Lorie, Aleksandry Krivtsovoj.

"Konets glavy", poslednjaja trilogija grandioznoj "Sagi o Forsajtakh" Dzhona Golsuorsi (1867-1933) - eto povestvovanie o seme Cherrelov, tesno svjazannykh rodstvennymi uzami s Forsajtami. Dolg, traditsii, chestnost, sluzhenie strane - vot deviz etikh ljudej. Odnako v mire izmenchivykh tsennostej poslevoennoj Anglii eti kachestva ostajutsja nevostrebovannymi. Glavnaja geroinja, Dinni Cherrel - obajatelnaja, teplaja, iskrjaschajasja jumorom, - srazu vyzyvaet otklik, soperezhivanie i ljubov chitatelja. Serdtse ee otkryto dlja ljubvi i schastja, no ljubov oborachivaetsja tragediej, kotoraja vot-vot uneset zhizn devushki. Bezoshibochnoe znanie chelovecheskikh kharakterov, a glavnoe - glubokoe ponimanie obschestva i zakonov ego razvitija delajut knigu itogom vsej monumentalnoj epopei. Podoshla k kontsu poslednjaja glava, postavlena tochka. "Kontsom glavy" zaversheno bylo i delo vsej zhizni pisatelja. Za god do smerti Golsuorsi poluchil Nobelevskuju premiju po literature za "vysokoe iskusstvo povestvovanija, vershinoj kotorogo javljaetsja "Saga o Forsajtakh".

A brilliant social satire by Nobel Prize-winning author John Galsworthy, this monumental trilogy chronicles the lives of three generations of an upper-middle class London family obsessed with money and respectability. The first book, The Man of Property, established Galsworthy's reputation as an author and a keen observer of society. His masterly prose, always scorchingly accurate and often very funny, introduces Soames Forsyte, an avaricious man who sees everything--including his rebellious trophy wife, Irene--in terms of its value as a possession. The second book, In Chancery, recounts the Forsytes' stormy marriage, separation, and eventual divorce. To Let, the last of the trilogy, focuses on the children of the estranged couple. In addition to the three original novels, this edition also contains the connecting interludes, Indian Summer of a Forsyte and Awakening. An enduring portrait of Victorian and Edwardian life, The Forsyte Saga remains an impressive contribution to social history and literary art.

It is six o'clock of a November evening, in KEITH DARRANT'S study. A large, dark-curtained room where the light from a single reading-lamp falling on Turkey carpet, on books beside a large armchair, on the deep blue-and-gold coffee service, makes a sort of oasis before a log fire. In red Turkish slippers and an old brown velvet coat, KEITH DARRANT sits asleep. He has a dark, clean-cut, clean-shaven face, dark grizzling hair, dark twisting eyebrows. The curtained door away out in the dim part of the room behind him is opened so softly that he does not wake. LARRY DARRANT enters and stands half lost in the curtain over the door. A thin figure, with a worn, high cheek-boned face, deep-sunk blue eyes and wavy hair all ruffled-a face which still has a certain beauty. He moves inwards along the wall, stands still again and utters a gasping sigh. KEITH stirs in his chair.] KEITH. Who's there? LARRY. In a stifled voice] Only I-Larry. KEITH. Half-waked] Come in I was asleep. He does not turn his head, staring sleepily at the fire.]
