The disregard of a dying woman's bequest, a girl's attempt to help an impoverished clerk, and the marriage of an idealist and a materialist intersect at an estate called Howards End. There, the lives of three families become entangled. The Wilcoxes, who own the estate, are a wealthy family who made their fortune in the American colonies. The Schlegel siblingssAeiMargaret, Helen, and TibbysAeiare lively socialites whose spirited and active lifestyles are representative of the intellectual bourgeoisie. And the Basts are a young couple from a lower-class background who are struggling to survive. As chance brings them together, societal conventions come into question as does the ownership of Howards End. Through the fate of the estatesAeias well as the lives of the families who are affiliated with itsAeiForster creates a brilliant parallel to the fate of English society itself.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster (1879-1970) é sobretudo reconhecido e admirado por obras como Um Quarto com Vista (1908), Howards End (1910) e Passagem para a Índia (1924), e pela controversa publicação póstuma de Maurice (1971), romance que desvenda e exalta o amor homossexual. Da adolescência no Surrey aos estudos no King’s College e à sua ligação ao Grupo de Bloomsbury, cedo se norteou pela crença na plena realização e na liberdade do homem, capaz de desarmar as hipocrisias do puritanismo e da sociedade britânica da época. Pacifista e objetor de consciência na Primeira Guerra Mundial, fez serviço cívico na Cruz Vermelha e visitou o Egipto, tendo travado amizade com o poeta Konstandinos Kavafis em Alexandria. Foi membro da Union of Ethical Societies e famoso pelas suas intervenções na rádio em defesa de reformas sociais e da liberdade de expressão.
