Indian Summer of a Forsyte and In Chancery is a two-part novel by John Galsworthy. The first part, Indian Summer of a Forsyte, follows the story of Jolyon Forsyte, a wealthy and successful man who falls in love with a young woman named Irene. Despite the disapproval of his family, Jolyon leaves his wife and marries Irene, leading to a bitter feud within the Forsyte family.The second part, In Chancery, continues the story of the Forsyte family, focusing on the marriage of Jolyon's daughter, June, to an artist named Philip Bosinney. The marriage is doomed from the start, as Philip's artistic ambitions clash with the Forsyte family's conservative values. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, family, and the conflict between tradition and modernity.Galsworthy's writing is known for its social commentary and exploration of the changing values and mores of early 20th century England. Indian Summer of a Forsyte and In Chancery are considered classics of English literature and are widely read and studied today.The little spirits of the past which throng an old man's days had never pushed their faces up to his so seldom as in the seventy hours elapsing before Sunday came. The spirit of the future, with the charm of the unknown, put up her lips instead. Old Jolyon was not restless now, and paid no visits to the log, because she was coming to lunch. -- Volume II in the Forsyte Saga.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
