This article explores how the family chronicle genre developed during the twentieth century and how it was transformed in the works of American writer Irwin Shaw, especially in Rich Man, Poor Man (1970) and Beggar man, Thief (1977).Traditionally, the family chronicle was associated with European authors such as John Galsworthy and Thomas Mann, who used it to show how individuals and society influence each other across several generations.Shaw reinterprets this genre in the moral and social context of post-war America, revealing how capitalist materialism weakens moral values and personal integrity.His novels demonstrate that family relationships reflect the nation's identity and historical awareness.By comparing Shaw's approach with that of European predecessors and placing his work within the broader context of Western realism, moral philosophy, and American social criticism, this study highlights Shaw's unique contribution to the modern family chronicle.Through close textual analysis, historical context, and the theories of Lukács, Bakhtin, and Frye, it argues that Shaw's moral realism transforms the traditional chronicle into a deep exploration of conscience, social pressure, and endurance.Ultimately, Shaw's fiction shows that the family remains a powerful moral and cultural symbol in twentiethcentury American life.
