Howards End

Howards End

E.M. Forster

Modern Library Inc
1999
pokkari
Reflecting Forster's view of the moral and emotional weaknesses of the English upper class, this novel deals with a country house called Howards End and its influence on the lives of the wealthy and materialistic Wilcoxes; the cultured, idealistic Schlegel sisters; and the poor bank clerk Leonard Bast. Illustrating Forster's key aphorism, "Only connect," it brings together people from different classes and nations through sympathetic insight and understanding. As Lionel Trilling noted, it "eloquently addresses the question 'Who shall inherit England?'"

This Edwardian social comedy explores love and prim propriety among an eccentric cast of characters assembled in an Italian pensione and in a corner of Surrey, England. A charming young English woman, Lucy Honeychurch, faints into the arms of a fellow Britisher when she witnesses a murder in a Florentine piazza. Attracted to this man, George Emerson--who is entirely unsuitable and whose father just may be a Socialist--Lucy is soon at war with the snobbery of her class and her own conflicting desires. Back in England she is courted by a more acceptable, if stifling, suitor, and soon realizes she must make a startling decision that will decide the course of her future: she is forced to choose between convention and passion. The enduring delight of this tale of romantic intrigue is rooted in Forster's colorful characters, including outrageous spinsters, pompous clergymen and outspoken patriots. Written in 1908, A Room With A View is one of E.M. Forster's earliest and most celebrated works.

Miss Lucy Honeychurch is on a tour of Italy with her cousin and chaperone Miss Charlotte Bartlett when she encounters the young George Emerson, on a similar tour with his father. George finds himself drawn to the pretty, spirited Lucy, while Lucy is intrigued by George's rejection of "proper" behavior. Despite her attraction to George, Lucy later becomes engaged to Cecil Vyse, a London 'sophisticate' whose upper class status makes him an excellent match; but when she discovers that George Emerson and his father have rented a villa close to her family home, Lucy must choose between convention and genuine emotion. A comedy of manners, A Room with a View is the perfect blend of gentle satire and a predictable, sweet love story—perfect for fans of Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde.

"Howards End is a beautifully subtle tale of two very different families brought together by an unusual event. The Schlegels are intellectuals, devotees of art and literature. The Wilcoxes are practical, wealthy, and materialistic. When the elder Mrs. Wilcox dies and her family discovers she has left their country home, Howards End, to one of the Schlegel sisters, a crisis erupts between the two families. Written in 1910, "Howards End is a symbolic exploration of the social, economic, and intellectual forces at work in England in the years preceding World War I. Forster's novel asks: In a changing modern society, what should be the relation between the inner and outer life, between the world of the intellect and the world of business? Can they ever, as Forster urges, "only connect"? Mary Gordon is a McIntosh Professor of English at Barnard College.

Alexandria

Alexandria

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

With a novelist's pen, Forster brings to life the fabled, romantic city of Alexander the Great, capital of Graeco-Roman Egypt, beacon of light and culture symbolised by the Pharos, where the doomed love affair of Antony and Cleopatra was played out and the greatest library the world has ever known was built.In the autumn of 1915, in a 'slightly heroic mood', E.M. Forster arrived in Alexandria, full of lofty ideals as a volunteer for the Red Cross. Yet most of his time was spent exploring 'the magic, antiquity and complexity' of the place in order to cope with living in what he saw as a 'funk-hole'.Threading 3,000 years of history with vibrant strands of literature and punctuating the narrative with his own experiences, Forster immortalised Alexandria in this book, painting an incomparable portrait of the great city and, inadvertently, himself.

E.M. Forsters berømte kjærlighetsroman forteller om unge Lucy Honeychurch som må bruke både hjertet og hjernen når hun søker etter den store, ekte kjærligheten. Hennes begjær, hennes drømmer og hennes jakt på sannheten og ærligheten gjør ikke livet lett når hun må velge mellom sine to beundrere: Den kyniske og velstående Cecil - og George, som er mer upolert og som kommer fra enklere kår. Med sitt skarpe, men også vare og følsomme blikk, ser og avslører Forster den britiske middelklassens stive omgangsform - både i utlandet og hjemme. At Forster ofte er underfundig og vittig, preger boken. Fortellingen utspiller seg både i det romantiske Firenze og på den engelske landsbygda. Boken utkom første gang i London i 1908 og er aldri tidligere utgitt på norsk. Mange har imidlertid sett filmen Et rom med utsikt med Helena Bonham Carter og Maggie Smith. Oversatt av Kirsti Øvergaard.
