Summary: "The Forsyte Saga - Complete" by John Galsworthy is a novel written during the late 19th century and early 20th century. The story centers around the Forsyte family, a wealthy and possessive upper-middle-class clan in England, focusing on themes of property, social status, and personal relationships, particularly through the lives of characters like old Jolyon Forsyte and his granddaughter June. The opening of the saga introduces the Forsyte family during a gathering at old Jolyon's home to celebrate June's engagement to Philip Bosinney, an architect. Set in 1886, the atmosphere is filled with tension and superficial cordiality, as family members seem to cling tightly to their sense of propriety and status. Through this gathering, the narrative explores the relationships between family members, highlighting feelings of distrust and competition, all while hinting at the underlying dynamics that will develop around June's romantic choices and the broader conflicts caused by love and desire against the backdrop of materialism and social expectations.
