Abstract. The article examines the storyline and compositional peculiarities of John Galsworthy’s trilogy "The Forsyte Saga" (1921). Galsworthy’s novel is considered as a "monological novel" (M. Bakhtin). The researcher describes the basic internal storyline, which involves the author’s holistic understanding of nature, society and human being. The paper identifies the continual storyline motives, images-symbols, which put together the personages’ stories with the integrity of the author’s worldview. The author concludes that the novel’s composition manifests the idea of life cyclicity and spiritual and social evolution of the society. The researcher analyses the influence of the English and Russian literary artists, first of all W. Shakespeare and L. Tolstoy, on the storyline and compositional originality of Galsworthy’s novel.
