A Room with a View(看得见风景的房间)
作品简介
This Edwardian social comedy explores love and prim propriety among an eccentric cast of characters assembled in an Italian pensione and in a corner of Surrey, England.
A charming young Englishwoman, Lucy Honeychurch, faints into the arms of a fellow Britisher when she witnesses a murder in a Florentine piazza. Attracted to this man, George Emerson—who is entirely unsuitable and whose father just may be a Socialist—Lucy is soon at war with the snobbery of her class and her own conflicting desires. Back in England, she is courted by a more acceptable, if stifling, suitor and soon realizes she must make a startling decision that will decide the course of her future: she is forced to choose between convention and passion.
E·M·福斯特(1879-1970):英国二十世纪小说大师,著名散文家、评论家。《看得见风景的房间》是福斯特最重要的代表作之一,亦是他最为优美、清新的自由爱情篇章。
