The man of property The forsyte saga 1
John Galsworthy
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
The Man of Property by John Galsworthy opens the grand epic of The Forsyte Saga, bringing readers into the refined yet quietly troubled world of upper-class Edwardian London. At its center is Soames Forsyte—a wealthy, respectable solicitor who believes that everything in life, including love, can be possessed.
Soames lives in a world of manicured streets, gleaming drawing rooms, and social certainty. But behind the façade of respectability lies emotional isolation. His marriage to the beautiful and distant Irene becomes a quiet battlefield—haunted by control, longing, and the one thing Soames cannot purchase: her heart.
As Irene’s affections begin to drift toward another man, Soames finds his carefully ordered world unraveling. His obsession with status, ownership, and appearances collides with a deeper truth: that love cannot be contained or bought like property.
Written with elegance and precision, The Man of Property captures the tension between desire and duty, tradition and change, possession and freedom. It is a moving, layered portrait of a family—and a man—on the brink of transformation. Rich in atmosphere and psychological insight, this novel stands as a timeless reflection on the cost of pride and the complexity of the human heart.
