À propos de cet e-book

This is a tale of repression, prejudice, and above all, romance between two unlikely individuals: the sophisticated, upper-class Lucy Honeychurch and the boyish George Emerson. Taking place during the Edwardian era, the story follows Lucy as she vacations in Italy, dying to get away from her restrictive life and family in Britain. She encounters George at her hotel and is immediately fascinated by him, for he seems the exact opposite of her family: unpretentious, unconventional and full of life. But she knows her family would never approve of him. Returning to Britain, she finds herself torn between society’s expectations of her and what she secretly wants for herself.

À propos de l'auteur

E. M. Forster was an English author and essayist best remembered for the six novels he wrote during his career and the way he masterfully confronted various social issues through them. A humanist at heart, he explored themes of class division, gender and imperialism in his books through that lens. The final book he wrote, A Passage to India, brought him widespread critical acclaim and was considered to be his finest work.
