A meticulously-observed drama of class warfare, E.M. Forster's "Howards End" explores the conflict inherent within English society, unveiling the character of a nation as never before. This "Penguin Classics" edition includes an introduction and notes by David Lodge. 'Only connect...' A chance acquaintance brings together the preposterous bourgeois Wilcox family and the clever, cultured and idealistic Schlegel sisters. As clear-eyed Margaret develops a friendship with Mrs Wilcox, the impetuous Helen brings into their midst a young bank clerk named Leonard Bast, who lives at the edge of poverty and ruin. When Mrs Wilcox dies, her family discovers that she wants to leave her country home, Howards End, to Margaret. Thus as Forster sets in motion a chain of events that will entangle three different families, he brilliantly portrays their aspirations to personal and social harmony. David Lodge's introduction provides an absorbing and eloquent overture to the 1910 novel that established Forster's reputation as an important writer, and that he himself later referred to as 'my best novel'. This edition also contains a note on the text, suggestions for further reading, and explanatory notes. E. M. Forster (1879-1970) was a noted English author and critic and a member of the Bloomsbury group. His first novel, "Where Angels Fear To Tread" appeared in 1905. "The Longest Journey" appeared in 1907, followed by "A Room With A View" (1908), based partly on the material from extended holidays in Italy with his mother. "Howards End" (1910) was a story that centered on an English country house and dealt with the clash between two families, one interested in art and literature, the other only in business. "Maurice" was revised several times during his life, and finally published posthumously in 1971. If you enjoyed "Howard's End", you might like Forster's "A Room with a View", also available in "Penguin Classics".
因为写论文的原因,好容易登到一个中文版,好用来引用。本来以为人民文学出版社和苏福忠的名字能保证质量,结果发现很差,前言里面错误百出,基本的作者信息和作品信息都没有搞清楚。更糟的是名字都写错了,写成howard end. 对于国内一流出版社,“资深”编辑,搞出这种不负责...
评分我琢磨了一下标题前面那个叹词,一开始,冲出脑门的是“唉…”,可这未免过于悲观;而后,是“哦…”,又过于欣喜。还是“嗯…”来得平实。海伦和玛格丽特是故事中的两位主人公,一对亲姐妹——身上流着日耳曼人血液的英国人,大龄的,知识女青年。是的,不是当今流行的“文艺...

评分这本书我看了两遍,正如作品介绍里说的这不是一部关于爱情的小说。 福斯特在20世纪初的英国文坛享有很高的声誉。但这部他早期最好的小说让我产生了疑问,他真的有那么好吗? 总的来说写得还可以,但不能进入文学史上伟大小说的行列。故事简单,人物单薄,用词无甚亮点,爱情...

慢慢内心戏这是要溢出来啊,然后时不时作者还要来上画外音w对伦敦、英国、富有和中下阶层的很多语言非常犀利,扣掉一星是因为这样的风格把气氛冲淡了。和故园风雨后一个对比:故园围绕the past, the ruins ,而这本则是things to come ,非常有趣~
评分福斯特的野心。
评分Tired of the obsession of proportion and balance; reads like George Elliot...
评分呜呜呜呜写的太好了
评分太多荒原梗。Echt deutsch, domestic French, Thames daughters, Goodbye×N, 艾略特快从实招来!
