Produktbeschreibung
In the sunlit hills of Florence, young Lucy Honeychurch encounters a passion that threatens to upend her carefully ordered English life. When she exchanges rooms at the Pension Bertolini for one with a view of the Arno, she unknowingly opens a window onto a world of possibility-and into the heart of the unconventional George Emerson. Back in the manicured gardens of Surrey, Lucy becomes engaged to the refined and bloodless Cecil Vyse, a match that promises respectability and status. But she cannot forget the intensity of that spring in Italy, nor the questions it awakened in her about duty, desire, and what it means to truly live. With wit, warmth, and devastating insight, E. M. Forster illuminates the quiet rebellion of a young woman torn between the stifling conventions of Edwardian England and the call of her own heart. A timeless comedy of manners that asks: Will Lucy choose the view, or will she turn away from the window?
Autorenporträt
Edward Morgan Forster (1879 - 1970), better known by his pen name E. M. Forster, was an English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. Forster's humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End: "Only connect ... ". His 1908 novel, A Room with a View, is his most optimistic work, while A Passage to India (1924) brought him his greatest success. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 16 different years.
