"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.
