Where Angels Fear to Tread is a must-read domestic comedy that juxtaposes the confines of respectable English life with a pulsating Italian village. It shows that really living life requires more than intellectual observation and aesthetic appreciation; it requires passionate human connection and engagement.
E. M. Forster raises questions about individual happiness and desire and explores how they are circumscribed and defined by the social and cultural realities of one’s life.
عن المؤلف
E. M. Forster was born in London on January 1, 1879, and attended Cambridge from 1897 to 1901, studying classics and history at King’s College. At Cambridge, he was elected to the Apostles, an intellectual society whose members included G. E. Moore, John Maynard Keynes, Lytton Strachey, Bertrand Russell, and Leonard Woolf. After college, Forster and his mother traveled throughout Italy for a year, which inspired this novel. After the success of
Howards End (1910) and
A Passage to India (1924), King’s College offered Forster an honorary fellowship and a permanent home, where he lived until his death in 1970.
