E. M. Forsters beloved Italian novels, now in an Everymans Library Contemporary Classics single hardcover volume.Forsters most memorably romantic exploration of the liberating effects of Italy on the English, A Room with a View follows the carefully chaperoned Lucy Honeychurch to Florence. There she meets the unconventional George Emerson and finds herself inspired by his refreshingly free spirit- which puts her in mind of a room with a view-to escape the claustrophobic snobbery of her guardians back in England.The wicked tragicomedy Where Angels Fear to Tread chronicles a young English widows trip to Italy and its messy aftermath. When Lilia Herriton impulsively marries a penniless Italian and then dies in childbirth, her first husbands family sets out to rescue the child from his uncivilized surroundings. But in ways that they cant possibly imagine, their narrow preconceptions will be upended by the rich and varied charms of Forsters cherished Italy.Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
