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.

评分 评分一生总有很多旅行,你经过的那次我会不会刻骨铭心呢? 这本书絮絮叨叨地在讲一个爱情的故事,反复纠结,然后大团圆。似乎,我们本来以为就该这样 从某种程度讲,并不喜欢这个故事。因为太理想主义,而我们所经历的,从来不是这么美好的一路。有时候,荆棘丛生 和所...
评分对福斯特的爱源自我本科时读他的短篇小说集《天国公车》(The Celestial Omnibus,不知道是怎么译的。)如果我没记错的话,那本集子里都是些略带奇幻的故事,让当时的我十分着迷。但自那之后,有三四年的时间我都没再读过他的东西了。上学期我选修的“18世纪英国小说”课上,我...
评分老福斯特79岁那年,正是这本书出版50年之后。对于这个五十年之前写作的故事,老人家坐在黄昏的夕阳下给故事中的人物一个随着时间前行的时空。 我不禁在想,作家,尤其是小说家,如此奇妙的职业。 对于老福斯特而言,五十年的光阴在他身上留下痕迹,与此同时,他所创作的那个世...
