Posiadacz (Saga rodu Forsyte'ów, nr 1).
Nowoczesna komedia to kolejna trylogia powiesciowa poswiecona rodzinie Forsyte'ów. W jej sklad Biala malpa (1924), Srebrna lyzka (1926) i Labedzi spiew (1928). Nastepuje w niej metamorfoza glównego bohatera, Soamesa, który z egoisty i dorobkiewicza przeistacza sie w dostojnego, uduchowionego gentlemana. Pokolenie, które Galsworthy krytykowal wczesniej za zdrade wartosci ogólnoludzkich, staje sie teraz wedlug niego ich nosicielem; krytyce poddana zostaje natomiast najmlodsza generacja, przesiaknieta hedonizmem i nihilizmem. Akcja pierwszego tomu rozpoczyna sie w roku 1922, a konczy rok pózniej. Fleur, córka Soamesa, prowadzi salon towarzyski, w którym bywaja modni artysci. Michal podejrzewa, ze zona go zdradza, jednak pewnego dnia Fleur zaskakuje go informacja, ze spodziewa sie potomka... Stary Soames, po wielu perypetiach zawodowych zwiazanych z oszustwami jednego z dyrektorów, rezygnuje z posady w zarzadzie Towarzystwa Ubezpieczeniowego.
