Born into a wealthy family, John Galsworthy initially pursued a legal career before turning to writing, influenced by his friendship with Joseph Conrad. His secret affair with Ada Nemesis Pearson Cooper culminated in marriage after her divorce. Galsworthy gained recognition for his social commentary, particularly in "The Forsyte Saga," which critiques upper-middle-class life and its moral constraints. His works advocate for social reform, exploring themes of women's rights and unhappy marriages. A Nobel Prize winner, he left a lasting impact on literature and society before his death in 1933.
