Rozsáhlá kronika, ličící osudy tří generací anglického patricijského rodu od roku 1886 až do počátku dvacátých let 20. století, vznikala téměř šestnáct let a kompletně byla poprvé vydána roku 1922. Její souhrnný název zvolil Galsworthy se zřetelným ironickým záměrem, protože slovo„sága“ vyvolává představu hrdinských činů, jimiž se Forsytové zrovna nevyznamenávají. Celé dílo se skládá se ze tří románů a dvou povídek.
Kroniky Forsytů Série
Tato obsáhlá sága sleduje osudy jedné prominentní anglické rodiny napříč několika generacemi. Děj se ponořuje do složitých rodinných vztahů, třídních rozdílů a měnícího se společenského klimatu na přelomu 19. a 20. století. Příběhy jsou plné vášně, zrady a hledání smyslu života ve světě plném majetkových ambicí i citových strádání. Je to pozoruhodné zobrazení lidské povahy a společenského vývoje.
