About this audiobook
"A Room With a View" is a novel penned by E.M. Forster, first published in 1908. Set both in England and Italy, the narrative centers on the young Lucy Honeychurch and her development from a repressed and naive woman into a more self-assured and liberated individual. The story commences with Lucy's travels in Italy, where she meets George Emerson, a man who challenges her traditional Victorian values. After returning to England, Lucy finds herself torn between her attraction to George and her engagement to the conventional Cecil Vyse. Throughout the narrative, Forster delves into themes of love, societal conventions, self-realization, and the contrast between the repressive English society and the liberating effect of the Italian landscape.
E. M. Forster
E.M. Forster (1879-1970) was an English novelist. Born in London to an Anglo-Irish mother and a Welsh father, Forster moved with his mother to Rooks Nest, a country house in rural Hertfordshire, in 1883, following his father’s death from tuberculosis. He received a sizeable inheritance from his great-aunt, which allowed him to pursue his studies and support himself as a professional writer. Forster attended King’s College, Cambridge, from 1897 to 1901, where he met many of the people who would later make up the legendary Bloomsbury Group of such writers and intellectuals as Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, and John Maynard Keynes. A gay man, Forster lived with his mother for much of his life in Weybridge, Surrey, where he wrote the novels A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India. Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature sixteen times without winning, Forster is now recognized as one of the most important writers of twentieth century English fiction, and is remembered for his unique vision of English life and powerful critique of the inequities of class.
