Villa Rubein And Other Stories explores the conflicts between young love and the pursuit of art versus money, business versus vocation, and work versus a life secured by inheritance. It examines the struggles of those who choose careers driven by passion, particularly in the arts, against those who dedicate themselves to building wealth. The narrative suggests that those who earn money tend to value it more than those who inherit it, acknowledging the deep commitment required to acquire and preserve wealth. Through these contrasting perspectives, the work raises profound questions about the nature of success, fulfillment, and personal sacrifice. It challenges the idealized notion that wealth is irrelevant to those who have it, while highlighting the devotion and effort needed to achieve financial security. The story also reflects on how these different approaches to life and work shape personal identity and relationships, offering a thoughtful exploration of the emotional and philosophical dimensions of ambition, love, and the pursuit of meaning. It is a reflection on the complex choices that define one's path in life and the impact those choices have on the pursuit of both material and spiritual fulfillment.

The residents of Villa Rubein lead a quiet and generally conventional existence until one spring day when Greta, twelve years old, outspoken, and inquisitive, follows her mischievous dog Scruff into a previously abandoned house and meets the painter Alois Harz. Harz is drawn into a friendship with the entire family, growing closer to all of them but especially nineteen-year-old Christian, who soon finds herself torn between her intense love for the painter and her love for her family.

Eto roman, v kotoryj avtor vlozhil tak mnogo lichnogo, chto, kazhetsja, nerazryvno srossja so svoimi gerojami. Tri pokolenija Forsajtov, stabilnyj, nezyblemyj srednij klass viktorianskoj Anglii. Edinstvennoe, na chto ne rasprostranjaetsja vlast ikh deneg, - Krasota: nedosjagaemaja, zagadochnaja, nepostizhimaja.

Buduchi "tipichnymi predstaviteljami", vse geroi Golsuorsi - takova sila ego genija! - ostalis zhivymi ljudmi. Pocherk Golsuorsi otlichaet besposchadnaja obektivnost. On kak nikto sumel izobrazit muchitelnye dushevnye terzanija, skrytye pod chisto anglijskoj vneshnej nepronitsaemostju, patetiku zazemljaja ironiej. Nekotorye fragmenty romana napisany v neozhidanno liricheskikh tonakh, i ne prikhoditsja udivljatsja tomu, chto eta velikaja kniga zastavljaet segodnjashnego chitatelja soperezhivat gerojam i zhit ikh zhiznju, kakoj by dalekoj vo vremeni ona ni byla.

Vo vtoruju knigu dvukhtomnika "Saga o Forsajtakh" voshli roman "Sdaetsja vnaem", interljudija "Probuzhdenie" i izbrannye rasskazy iz tsikla "Na Forsajtskoj Birzhe".Perevod s angl.
