Edward Morgan Forster was born in London in 1879. He wrote six novels, four of which appeared before the First World War, Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905), The Longest Journey (1907), A Room with a View (1908), and Howard’s End (1910). An interval of fourteen years elapsed before he published A Passage to India. It won both the Prix Femina Vie Heureuse and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. Maurice, his novel on a homosexual theme, finished in 1914, was published posthumously in 1971. He also published two volumes of short stories; two collections of essays; a critical work, Aspects of the Novel; The Hill of Devi, a fascinating record of two visits Forster made to the Indian State of Dewas Senior; two biographies; two books about Alexandria (where he worked for the Red Cross in the First World War); and, with Eric Crozier, the libretto for Britten’s opera Billy Budd. He died in June 1970.
This Penguin Classic is the result of a creative collaboration between Bill Amberg and the world's favourite publisher. It is one in a series of six luxury leather-bound titles. Forster's social comedy is a witty observation of the English middle classes as they holiday abroad in Florence. One of these tourists is Lucy Honeychurch, a young girl whose heart is awakened by her experiences in Italy.

擼完同名電影,就很好奇這些優美的鏡頭和細膩可愛的情感迴歸到文字會怎樣。於是迅速地去擼瞭一遍原著。 由於這段時間集中擼瞭一些英國小說,英國男作傢們那種麯麯摺摺的小心思,彆彆扭扭的小情緒,讓我覺得法國小說屆都是唱“滾滾長江東逝水”的直男。當然,作為一個基佬作傢,...
評分這本書很有意思,但是我覺得我得再讀幾遍纔能更好的理解它。所以這裏就放一些搜集來的 EM Forster 的生平碎片。因為我發現,和小說比起來,作者的生平更有趣。比如: 1. 一生 16 次諾貝爾奬提名,沒有一次得奬。 2. 8歲那年一個 great-aunt 死後留給他 8000 磅的信托 (相當於...
評分嗷嗷嗷嗷.. 在暑假EWRT 1B讀這本書的時候真的滿腦袋都是漿糊.書很薄, 但一開始就被那堆冗長的人名搞得一塌糊塗, 最後是看電影版本纔把脈絡理清. 很經典的英文名著. 還行的評級是給我自己的..
評分"那就做他的妻子吧.他已經成為你的一部分啦.即使你飛到希臘去,永遠不再見到他,甚至忘記瞭他的名字,但他在你的思想中繼續活動著,直到你死去.愛情是剪不斷斬不絕的.你會希望能把它剪斷斬絕.你可以使它起變化,忽視它,把它搞亂,但是你永遠也不可能把它從心中挖掉.經驗告訴我詩人們...
