Over dit e-boek

At its core, Howard's End tells a bittersweet story of a clash between classes and cultures, focusing on the relationships that are built after a fortuitous encounter between two starkly different families: the wealthy, pragmatic Wilcoxes and the artistic, rather idealistic Schlegel siblings. When the lovely Helen Schlegel visits the Wilcoxes at their estate and is enamored by their son Paul, they become engaged but soon after, they break it off. Their failed engagement becomes a catalyst, setting in motion a chain of events that nobody could have predicted.

Over de 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.
