Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905) is a novel by English author E.M. Forster. The work was Forster's first novel, and its success helped launch his lengthy and critically acclaimed career as a writer of literary fiction. Where Angels Fear to Tread--the title is drawn from Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism (1711)--is a moving meditation on class, gender, social convention, and the grieving process. Following the death of her husband, a widow named Lilia Herriton travels to Tuscany with her friend Caroline Abbott. In Italy, Lilia falls in love with a young Italian named Gino, with whom she decides to remain. This prompts a fierce backlash among members of her deceased husband's family, who privilege their honor and name over Lilia's happiness. Although they send Philip, her brother-in-law, to Italy in order to retrieve her, Lilia has already married Gino, and is pregnant with their child. When she dies in childbirth, however, a fight ensues over the care of the boy, whom the Herritons want to be raised as an Englishman in their midst. Philip returns to Italy with his sister Harriet, meeting Caroline and devising a plan to wrest control of the boy from Gino, a loving and caring father. Where Angels Fear to Tread is a novel that traces the consequences of selfish decisions, the politics of family life, and the social conventions which hold women prisoner to those who claim to support them. The novel was an immensely successful debut for Forster, who would go on to become one of England's most popular and critically acclaimed novelists of the twentieth century. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of E.M. Forster's Where Angels Fear to Tread is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

In Howards End Forster voiced many of his apprehensions about the future, and the novel has become more relevant than ever as a statement of humane, civilised values, while its subtle characterisation, its blend of irony and lyricism, its humour and its wealth of unobtrusive symbols, make it one of the great English novels. The story of two sisters - Margaret and Helen Schlegel - and their different paths in life was hailed by the critics as Forster's greatest work when it was first published in 1910.

Howards End (1910) is a novel by English author E.M. Forster. Inspired by his interactions with the famous Bloomsbury Group of writers and intellectuals, as well as by his personal experience growing up with a large inheritance on the family estate of Rooks Nest, Howards End has been recognized as one of the finest novels ever written in English.The story loosely follows the lives of three families: the Wilcoxes, whose wealth derives from the exploitation of British colonies; the Basts, an impoverished couple; and the Schlegels, half-German sisters who find themselves set between the vastly opposing classes of their peers. Much of the novel is set on the Wilcox estate, known as Howards End, a symbol of fortune and a reminder of the generational implications of hoarded wealth. When Ruth Wilcox moves to London, she befriends her neighbor Margaret Schlegel. On her deathbed, and in secret, Ruth leaves a note instructing that Howards End be left to Margaret in her will, bypassing her family entirely. When her son Henry, a widower, finds out, he destroys the note, ensuring that the estate remains within the family. Years later, when the two meet again, Henry proposes to Margaret, bringing the Wilcox and Schlegel families closer together. But when her sister Helen brings the struggling Leonard and Jacky Bast to a party at Howards End, Henry, who recognizes Jacky as a former mistress, believes he is being set up, and breaks off the engagement. Although they reconcile, Margaret is driven apart from her sisters, who resent the Wilcoxes and distrust Henry. But when Helen becomes pregnant by Leonard, and a tragic event destroys several lives, the families are brought together once more, and both Margaret and Henry are forced to choose between the fortune they stand to gain and the love they stand to lose.E.M. Forster's Howards End is a masterpiece, a brilliant study of family, wealth, romance, and secrecy that captures the depravity of the English aristocracy without losing what sets it apart-an undeterred sense of humanity.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of E.M. Forster's Howards End is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

¿La Signora no tiene derecho a hacer esto ¿dijo la señorita Bartlett¿, ningún derecho. Nos prometió habitaciones al sur con una panorámica conjunta; en su lugar, aquí tenemos habitaciones al lado norte y dan a un patio y bien alejadas. ¡Oh, Lucy! ¿¡Y además es una cockney! ¿dijo Lucy, que se había entristecido por el inesperado acento de la Signorä. Se diría que estamos en Londres. Miró las dos hileras de ingleses sentados junto a la mesa; la hilera de botellas blancas de agua y rojas de vino que corrían entre sus manos; los retratos de la última reina y del último poeta laureado que colgaban detrás de los británicos, pesadamente vestidos; el cartel de la Iglesia anglicana (reverendo Cuthbert Eager, M. A. Oxon), que constituían la única decoración de la pared. ¿Charlotte, ¿no sientes también tú que bien podríamos encontrarnos en Londres? A duras penas puedo creer que todo este tipo de cosas distintas estén precisamente fuera. Supongo que se debe a que una se siente tan cansada.

A Passage To India, ' the greatest novel of all time, depicts a scenario set in pre-independence India, when British restrictions were obeyed. The premise centers around the question of whether Indians and Brits can ever be friends. Through the friendship between Aziz and Fielding, Forster utilizes this subject as a framework to explore the general issue of Britain's governmental domination of India on a more intimate level. It also untangles the rising racial tensions between Indians, who are wary of colonial power at best, and the British, who are mostly ignorant of and scornful of the community they are penetrating. Forster effectively defined the friendship between British and Indians and also discuss the Indian-British-Muslim interaction, culture, and religion in India through this Novel.
