About this ebook
"The Little Man" is a farcical drama by English novelist and playwright John Galsworthy, who was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932. Filled with intriguing characters and absorbing exchanges, this work is written in a naturalistic style, examining some controversial ethical and social problems.
Author
John Galsworthy
John Galsworthy (1867–1933) was an English short story writer, novelist, and playwright whose work spanned the better part of four decades. Author of more than seventy books, Galsworthy is best remembered for the Forsyte Saga as well as its follow-up trilogies, a Modern Comedy and End of the Chapter. A tireless champion of women’s rights, prison reform, and free speech, Galsworthy turned down knighthood out of the belief that writing was a reward within itself. His works have often been adapted for television and film, and in 1932 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
