"Говардс-Энд" – один из лучших романов Форстера. Книга, которая вошла в список "100 лучших романов" Новейшей библиотеки США и легла в основу сценария оскароносного фильма Джеймса Айвори с Энтони Хопкинсом, Эммой Томпсон и Хеленой Бонэм Картер в главных ролях. Одно из самых ярких произведений в жанре семейной саги, когда-либо выходивших из-под писательского пера. В усадьбе Говардс-Энд разыгрывается драма трех семейств – богатых буржуа Уилкоксов, интеллигентов Шлегелей и простых провинциальных обывателей Бастов. Драма, в которой есть место и ненависти, и вражде, и предательству, и непониманию, и подлинному чувству…

Эдвард Морган Форстер — классик английской литературы ХХ века. В его произведениях отразился и кризис эдвардианской эпохи, и трагедия представителей «потерянного поколения», вернувшегося после Первой мировой войны на родину, не готовую к переменам. Форстер никогда не пытался быть «современным». Возможно, именно поэтому его творческому наследию удалось не утратить актуальности, пережив смену нескольких эпох?.. «Говардс-Энд» — один из лучших романов Форстера.

"Only connect" is the idea at the heart of this book, a heartbreaking and provocative tale of three families at the beginning of the twentieth century: the rich Wilcoxes, the gentle, idealistic Schlegels and the lower-middle-class Basts. As the Schlegel sisters try desperately to help the Basts and educate the close-minded Wilcoxes, the families are drawn together in love, lies and death. Frequently cited as E. M. Forster's finest work, Howards End brilliantly explores class warfare, conflict and the English character.

First published in 1910, Howards End is the novel that earned E. M. Forster recognition as a major writer. Soon to be a limited series on Starz. At its heart lie two families—the wealthy and business-minded Wilcoxes and the cultured and idealistic Schlegels. When the beautiful and independent Helen Schlegel begins an impetuous affair with the ardent Paul Wilcox, a series of events is sparked—some very funny, some very tragic—that results in a dispute over who will inherit Howards End, the Wilcoxes’ charming country home. As much about the clash between individual wills as the clash between the sexes and the classes, Howards End is a…

This edition of Forster's classic novel reprints the authoritative text of the 1973 Abinger Edition together with five critical essays -- especially prepared for this volume -- that read "Howards End" from five contemporary critical perspectives. Each critical essay is accompanied by a succinct introduction to the history, principles, and practice of the critical perspective and by a bibliography that promotes further exploration of that approach.

I have read Howards End two or three times and listened to it once on tape and it remains one of my favorite novels. Many people were introduced to it by the film, which, good though it was, does not begin to capture the subtle wisdom Forster put into this book. Howards End can be seen as a quaint period piece about British culture in the early Twentieth Century. On another level, however, its a brilliant exploration of the human soul. In the Schlegels and the Wilcoxes, Forster has created the perfect embodiment of the eternal conflict between reason and passion. These two families, destined to be united by the marriage of Margaret…

"Howards End" is E. M. Forster's classic story of the varying struggles of members of different strata of the English middle class. The story centers around three families; the Wilcoxes, who made their fortune in the American colonies; the Schlegels, three siblings who represent the intellectual bourgeoisie; and the Basts, a young struggling lower middle-class couple. «Howards End», one of Forster's greatest works, is a classic dramatization of the differences in life amongst the English middle class.
