A Room With A View (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Set in Edwardian England and Italy, A Room with a View follows Lucy Honeychurch, a young woman torn between societal expectations and her desire for personal freedom. While vacationing in Florence, Lucy encounters George Emerson, a free-spirited and unconventional man who challenges her views on love and life. Their brief yet transformative connection forces Lucy to question her engagement to the proper but uninspiring Cecil Vyse back in England. Through vivid settings, humor, and a satirical critique of Edwardian society, E.M. Forster explores themes of love, individuality, class, and the conflict between convention and passion. A charming and timeless novel, it captures Lucy s journey toward self-discovery and her ultimate pursuit of authenticity and happiness.

Autorenporträt

Edward Morgan Forster OM CH was an English author, best known for his novels, particularly A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910), and A Passage to India (1924). He also wrote numerous short stories, essays, speeches and broadcasts, as well a limited number of biographies and some pageant plays. He also co-authored the opera Billy Budd (1951). Today, he is considered one of the most successful of the Edwardian era English novelists. Born into a comfortable middle-class family, Forster was an only child. His father died before he reached the age of two, and thereafter he was raised by his mother and a variety of other female relatives. After attending Tonbridge School he studied history and classics at King's College, Cambridge, where he met fellow future writers such as Lytton Strachey and Leonard Woolf. He then travelled throughout Europe before publishing his first novel, Where Angels Fear to Tread in 1905. Many of his novels examine class difference and hypocrisy. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 20 separate years.
