We've all met true craftsmen; individuals who can do nothing less than their best. Individuals who can't fathom the idea of planned obsolescence. They understand every part of their craft and customize every feature to create a one-of-a-kind result that lasts. This is the essence of this story. No great plot, no superior twist, just a well-crafted story that invites each of us into the heart of a master craftsmen and the passion that drives perfection. A beautiful story narrated by Glenn Hascall.

The Forsyte Saga initially centres on Soames Forsyte - a successful solicitor living in London with his beautiful wife Irene. A pillar of the late Victorian upper middle class, materially wealthy, his appears to be a golden existence endowed with all the necessary possessions for a 'Man of Property' but beneath this very proper exterior lies a core of unhappiness and brutal relationships. When The Forsyte Saga was shown on television in 1967 it was hugely successful.

This is the final book of "The Forsyte Saga". The interlude "Awakening" introduces us to young Jon's discoveries and his love for his mother Irene. To Let tells of Soames' daughter Fleur's and Jon's love for each other - a love which is subjected to the stigma of their parents' divorce.

Timothy, at just over 100 years of age, is the last survivor of the 10 siblings of Superior Dosset Forsyte. In this latest volume we are introduced to the grandchildren of those Forsytes who first began the Saga. Soames’s daughter Fleur is 20 at the start of the 1920s, a bright, wilful and independent spirit who can twist her father around her little finger. There is also Jon, the offspring of Jolyon and Irene, a sensitive and intelligent, though slightly naïve, young man of the same age.

The Man of Property, the first in the long series of novels written by John Galsworthy known as the Forsyte Saga, was written in 1906. It was the second novel that Galsworthy had published under his own name, the four novels previous to this being published privately under the pseudonym John Sinjohn. And, unlike its predecessors, it was a great success. It examined and dissected the habits, manners, snobberies and increasingly suffocating moral code of the upper-middle classes to which he belonged.

Das 19. Jahrhundert neigt sich dem Ende entgegen und Soames Forsyte ist reicher und mächtiger denn je. Nur die gescheiterte Ehe mit Irene nagt noch an ihm. Schließlich will er aber die Scheidung vorantreiben, um das Kapitel abzuschließen. Als er jedoch mitbekommt, dass sein Cousin Jolyon in der Zwischenzeit Irene Avancen macht, flammt Eifersucht in ihm auf. Es kommt erneut zu Streit und Drohungen. Kann der reiche Mann das Schicksal mit seinem Einfluss abwenden?

Soames Forsyte fehlt es an nichts. Der Spross einer reichen Londoner Anwaltsfamilie hat Geld, Macht, Ansehen in der feinen Gesellschaft. Und mit Irene eine schöne Frau, die er aber auch nur wie einen Besitz behandelt. Irene leidet unter der Gefühlskälte ihres Mannes. Als Soames den Architekten Philip Bossiney beauftragt, ein Haus für ihn zu bauen, lernt dieser auch Irene kennen und beide beginnen eine Affäre.

The house at Richmond is finished at last, but Soames takes Bosinney to court for exceeding the budget. The final judgment of their case turns on ‘a very fine point’ in their correspondence.... The architect does not heed Young Jolyon’s warning and continues to pursue Irene - with fatal consequences.

Soames Forsyte's great desire to own things even extends to his captivating wife, Irene. Jealous of her friendships with others, he concocts a plan to move her away to the countryside, where he might come to own her completely. Resisting his bitter intentions, she falls for architect Philip Bossiney, who is unfortunately engaged to her best friend (and Soames' cousin), June Forsyte.

This volume details the struggle between Soames and his beautiful wife, Irene, who leaves him but cannot persuade him to grant a divorce. While Soames cannot accept Irene's dissent, he insists his sister deal as she must with her own failed marriage. Irene gains independence through her friendship with Soames' Uncle, Old Jolyon, who leaves her a fortune in his will, and she flees the country, but Soames follows her.

The Dark Flower has a universal theme - the positive powers and the disruptive effects of sexuality and desire. It is the story of Mark Lennan and his infatuation, adulterous affair, conventional marriage and obsession for a younger woman. The author drew on his own experiences for much of the substance of his work and was truly a free thinker with regard to the relationship between the sexes.

As Jolyons condition worsens he writes a letter to Jon explaining the history of the feud, intending to use it only as a last resort. The boy eventually reads his father’s ‘confession’ and Jolyon is brought down by the stress. The young Mont continues to pay court to Fleur. Soames, hedging his bets, researches the boy’s background and finds that an alliance with the nobility might have its attractions.
