Anotace knihy

"A Modern Comedy: White Monkey" is the compelling first volume of John Galsworthy's second Forsyte trilogy, offering a vivid portrait of English society in the aftermath of the First World War. Set in the restless atmosphere of the 1920s, the narrative centers on the young Fleur Forsyte and her husband, Michael Mont, as they navigate the shifting moral and social landscapes of a changing world. While Fleur seeks distraction in the vibrant but often superficial social scene of London, Michael grapples with his conscience and the responsibilities of his class.

Galsworthy masterfully captures the disillusionment and frantic energy of the post-war generation, contrasting their modern sensibilities with the lingering traditions of the Victorian era. Through the eyes of the iconic Forsyte family, "A Modern Comedy: White Monkey" explores themes of love, fidelity, and the search for meaning in a society still reeling from global conflict. This classic work remains an essential exploration of the human condition and a definitive social history of the British upper-middle class during the early twentieth century. It stands as a testament to Galsworthy's keen observational skills and his ability to weave complex personal dramas into a broader social tapestry.
