THE FORSYTE SAGA Forsyte Chronicles, Vol. 1

by | Read by David Timson

Classics • 38 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1922

Classically trained British narrator David Timson has just the right comfortable yet aristocratic delivery to highlight the detailed character sketches, easy satire, and languid atmosphere of John Galsworthy's towering examination of a highborn family of wealth and property. The work spans the late Victorian era and the Roaring Twenties. Composed of the three novels and two spritely paced interludes, THE FORSYTE SAGA was written between 1906 and 1921. (Two sequels followed.) Listeners will meet three generations of Forsytes, including the addled Old Jolyon, the plotting Soames, and the star-crossed cousins, Jon and Fleur. A Nobel Prize winner in 1932, Galsworthy has since fallen out of literary favor. However, with Timson's realistic, vibrant narration, it may be time to rediscover this entertaining masterwork.
