Product Description

Book Description

"The Skin Game," Galsworthy's first commercial success and a hit London play, presents class conflict in the enmity of two families - a fierce rivalry between a landowner and his immediate neighbor, complete with nasty tactics, class-based hostility, and dirty secrets that beg to be unearthed. The play was adapted by Alfred Hitchcock and his wife, Alma Reville, and filmed in 1931.

About the Author

John Galsworthy (1867-1933) devoted virtually his entire professional career to creating a fictional but entirely representative family of propertied Victorians- the Forsytes. He made their lives and times- loves and losses- fortunes and deaths so real that readers accused him of including as characters in his drama real individuals whom they knew. He was the and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932.
