John Galsworthy (1867 - 1933) fue un novelista y dramaturgo británico, autor de "La Saga de los Forsyte", ciclo de ocho novelas que giran en torno a esta familia. Algunas de las narraciones de esta saga fueron llevadas al cine, e incluso en 1967 la BBC rodó una serie de televisión con ellas que recaudó premios como el BAFTA o el Emmy. Galsworthy recibió el Nobel de Literatura en 1932. Široce koncipovaný román zachycuje život tří generací rozvětveného patricijského rodu od poklidné éry panování královny Viktorie až do 20. let 20. století. Rodina, z jejíhož středu vyrůstají podnikatelé, právníci a vážení obchodníci, vyznává konvence pohodlného měšťáckého života a jako nejvyšší životní hodnotu uznává vlastnictví peněz a z toho plynoucí moc. Každý pokus o proražení hradby konvencí a tupé měšťácké samolibosti naráží na nepochopení a nekompromisní odsouzení. This moves the story on and concentrates on Fleur and her husband. Fleur remains quite a shallow young lady, and she is set on collecting. Her collection includes the nice items she owns, but it also includes people who attend her salons and hearts. That of Wilfred is a case in point. She never goes as far as to have intimate relations with him, but she is not mature enough to dismiss him either. This is further complicated by the fact that he was her husband's best man and remains a close friend. Both the men come out of this a lot better than Fleur in terms of character. The white monkey of the title is a painting and that serves as an allegory of the society at the time they find themselves. This books has a wider range of non-Forsytes than the previous trilogy. Iy s none the worse for that. Soames is now an elder statesman and he is a far more sympatheitic character than previously. He has softened, no matter how much he would say he has not. Although he does have a moment of triumph at the shareholders meeting that almost makes me want to cheer. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Indeholdt iThe Forsyte Saga / A Modern Comedy af John Galsworthy (indirekte)
The White Monkey is the fourth of the nine novels in the Forsyte Chronicles and marks the opening of the second trilogy in the series, called A Modern Comedy. In this new chapter, Fleur and Michael Mont begin to question their marriage when their good friend, author Wilfred Desert, can no longer contain his passion for Fleur. Fleur finds herself torn between her love for Michael and passion for Wilfred. Meanwhile, Soames Forsyte, as a director of the Providential Premium Reassurance Society, must root out the rumored indiscretions of a manager's dubious dealings with the Germans. The whole while, he is haunted by a painting of a white monkey with rinds of crushed fruit flung about it and eyes searching for something more. No library descriptions found. |
