John Galsworthy

A failed revolutionary attempt drives European Abel to seek refuge in the virgin forests of southwestern Venezuela. There, in the "green mansion" of the title, Abel encounters the wood-nymph Rima, the last survivor of a mysterious aboriginal race. The bird-girl's ethereal presence cativates him completely, but the love that flowers between them is soon blighted by cruelty and sorrow.

Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novels by John Galsworthy, The saga is an epic and highly praised series spanning three generations of the powerful Forsyte family at the turn of the 20th century. Beneath the family's imposing veneer lies a festering core of unhappy and brutal relationships.

Drama of the family life and loves of an upper-middle-class Victorian family.
