The Man Of Property
by John Galsworthy
The most valuable item in Soams Forsyth's collection of beautiful things is his wife, the mysterious Irene. But when she falls in love with Bosnian, a penniless architect who completely rejects Forsyth's values, their romance only touches on a series of events that can end in shame and disaster. John Galsworthy unravels the theme of the death of the upper-middle classes with irony and compassion.
