Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

'The poor cannot always reach those whom they want to love, and they can hardly ever escape from those whom they love no longer. We rich can'

'Only connect.' is the idea at the heart of this book, a heartbreaking and provocative tale of three families at the beginning of the twentieth century: the rich Wilcoxes, the gentle, idealistic Schlegels and the lower-middle class Basts. As the Schlegel sisters try desperately to help the Basts and educate the close-minded Wilcoxes, the families are drawn together in love, lies and death.

Frequently cited as E. M. Forster's finest work, Howards End brilliantly explores class warfare, conflict and the English character.

Biografía del autor:

Edward Morgan Forster was born in London in 1879. A pacifist and conscientious objector during the First World War, he volunteered instead for the International Red Cross, which took him to Alexandria. During his lifetime he travelled through Europe, Egypt and India; wrote six novels, as well as short stories, essays, biographies and a libretto for Britten's opera Billy Budd; declined a knighthood; and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in sixteen different years. His most famous works include A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). Forster died at the age of ninety-one.
