Produktbeschreibung

In "Saint's Progress," John Galsworthy delivers a poignant exploration of morality and the human condition through the lens of a deeply introspective protagonist, Felix. The narrative unfolds within a rich, symbol-laden landscape that reflects post-World War I disillusionment, characterized by Galsworthy's eloquent prose and keen psychological insight. Interweaving themes of redemption, self-discovery, and the conflict between societal expectations and personal aspirations, the novel is a compelling reflection on the struggles of the modern individual seeking a path toward ethical integrity amidst an increasingly chaotic world. John Galsworthy, an eminent British author and playwright, was significantly shaped by his own experiences of class and privilege, coupled with a deep sense of social responsibility. His connections to the legal profession and a keen awareness of social issues influenced his writing style and thematic concerns. Galsworthy'Äôs own evolution, marked by advocacy for social justice and passion for the theatre, weaves itself into "Saint'Äôs Progress," as he illuminates the inner turmoil of a man striving against his own limitations and the weight of societal norms. Recommended for scholars and enthusiasts of contemporary literary movements, "Saint's Progress" invites readers to engage with profound ethical dilemmas and complex character arcs. This novel not only challenges the reader'Äôs perceptions of morality but also offers a profound meditation on the quest for meaning in a fractured society. Galsworthy's masterful storytelling and deep empathy make this work a timeless exploration of the human spirit.

Autorenporträt

John Galsworthy OM 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.
