    About this ebook

    A family tale reminiscent of his famous Forsyte Saga, the Freelands are four brothers: successful author Felix, government worker John, wealthy businessman Stanley, and the eccentric, revolutionary Tod. The family’s fate in this sweeping social novel is intertwined with those of the workers on the land, including Bob Tryst, evicted at a squiress’s whim.

    John Galsworthy

    John Galsworthy was a Nobel-Prize (1932) winning English dramatist, novelist, and poet born to an upper-middle class family in Surrey, England. He attended Harrow and trained as a barrister at New College, Oxford. Although called to the bar in 1890, rather than practise law, Galsworthy travelled extensively and began to write. It was as a playwright Galsworthy had his first success. His plays—like his most famous work, the series of novels comprising The Forsyte Saga—dealt primarily with class and the social issues of the day, and he was especially harsh on the class from which he himself came.
