This is the "Penguin English Library Edition" of "Where Angels Fear to Tread" by E. M. Forster. 'I had got an idea that everyone here spent their lives in making little sacrifices for objects they didn't care for, to please people they didn't love; that they never learned to be sincere - and, what's as bad, never learned how to enjoy themselves'. E. M. Forster's first novel is a witty comedy of manners that is tinged with tragedy. It tells the story of Lilia Herriton, who proves to be an embarrassment to her late husband's family as, in the small Tuscan town of Monteriano, she begins a relationship with a much younger Italian man - classless, uncouth and highly unsuitable. A subtle attack on decorous Edwardian values and a humanely sympathetic portrayal of the clash of two cultures, "Where Angels Fear to Tread" is also a profound exploration of character and virtue. "The Penguin English Library" contains 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

評分正如前言所述,這本小說故事完整,各用瞭四個章節敘述瞭兩起死亡,直至最後,那座冰山的一角纔正式浮齣水麵,多少有些讓人吃驚。但迴過頭想想,當阿博特小姐袒露自己對吉諾的愛慕時,她的原因幾乎近似於開頭的莉莉婭,帶著暮色的夕陽、吉諾的體格,當然還有一個原因,私...
