Beschreibung

In 'Fraternity,' John Galsworthy explores the intricacies of human relationships amidst the backdrop of societal change. This early 20th-century work combines elements of drama and social commentary, encapsulating the essence of Galsworthy's literary style, which is characterized by its nuanced characterizations and rich, descriptive prose. The book probes deep into themes of love, loyalty, and the often complex interplay of personal and collective identity. Set within a turbulent historical context marked by class struggles and moral dilemmas, Galsworthy's narrative offers a poignant reflection on the need for mutual understanding and compassion in a fractured world. John Galsworthy, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932, was deeply influenced by his experiences in early 20th-century England, where he witnessed the burgeoning labor movements and the social disparities of his time.

Autor

John Galsworthy was an English dramatist and novelist who lived from 14 August 1867 to 31 January 1933. His novels, The Forsyte Saga, and two more trilogies, A Modern Comedy and End of the Chapter, are his best-known works. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932. Galsworthy, who came from a wealthy upper-middle-class family, was expected to become a lawyer, but he found the profession unappealing, so he resorted to literature. Before his first book, The Man of Property, about the Forsyte family, was released in 1897, he was thirty years old. It wasn't until that book the first of its kind that he saw true popularity. His debut play, The Silver Box, had its London premiere the same year. As a writer, he gained notoriety for his socially conscious plays that addressed issues such as the politics and morality of war, the persecution of women, the use of solitary confinement in prisons, the battle of workers against exploitation, and jingoism. The patriarch, Old Jolyon, is based on Galsworthy's father, and the Forsyte family in the collection of books and short tales known as The Forsyte Chronicles is comparable to Galsworthy's family in many aspects.
