The book includes the best-known novellas by John Galsworthy (1867–1933), a representative of English critical realism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such as “The Man of Devon,” “Conscience,” “The Forsyte Pardon,” “First and Last,” and others.
Exposing the ugly phenomena of the capitalist world, revealing the destinies of the poor—these are the main themes raised by the author.
