Howard's End, EM Forster, is one, along with all of Forster. Arcadia, a play by Tom Stoppard, is fantastic. Good for many re-reads (and re-watches). Ursula Le Guin (maybe The Left Hand of Darkness is my favorite?)…
Howard's End. From observations on the alienating experience of automobile travel, to the nature of the corporation, to the precarious lot of the low-end knowledge worker, Howard's End feels shockingly, jarringly…
Love reading about the Bloomsbury Set in London early 1900s. I think the finest novelization of that world is the E. M. Forester *Howard's End". Movie & TV versions work as well. One of those stories you can set in any generation and it holds sort of true ;)
The article makes an interesting connection to the gap in England's mythology, between the earliest tales and the present day. I have just finished reading Howard's End, and Forster makes a similar observation -- England has witches and fairies, but no grand mythology. Forster was Tolkien's contemporary; although their subject matter could hardly be more different,…
Although mistrust can sometimes be warranted, as a way to prevent others from poisoning your life, I agree that it's also something to be careful about. This reminds me of a quote from EM Forster's novel Howard's End: > “You remember ‘rent’? It was one of father’s words— Rent to the ideal, to his own faith in human nature. You remember how he would trust strangers, and if they fooled him he would say, ‘It’s…
E·M·福斯特的《霍华德庄园》算一本，其实他的所有作品都算。汤姆·斯托帕德的戏剧《阿卡迪亚》也很绝。非常适合反复读（和重温演出）。厄休拉·勒古恩（《黑暗的左手》可能是我最喜欢的一本？）……

《霍华德庄园》。从对汽车出行那种异化体验的观察，到对企业本质的剖析，再到底层知识分子朝不保夕的处境，《霍华德庄园》读起来让人感到惊人地、刺痛般地……

很喜欢读关于20世纪初伦敦布鲁姆斯伯里文化圈的内容。我觉得对那个圈子最精彩的小说化呈现，就是E·M·福斯特的《霍华德庄园》。改编的电影和电视剧也很棒。这种故事无论放到哪个时代，都说得通 ;)

福斯特的长篇小说也很值得一读。我读《霍华德庄园》已经是很多年前的事了，莱纳德·巴斯特的形象至今还在我脑海里挥之不去。
Forester’s longer fiction is well worth it too. It’s been years since I read Howard’s End and Leonard Bast still haunts me.
这篇文章把英国早期神话与当今时代之间的断层联系了起来，挺有意思的。我刚读完《霍华德庄园》，福斯特也有过类似的观察——英国有女巫和仙子，但没有宏大的神话体系。福斯特和托尔金是同时代的人；尽管两人的题材大相径庭，……

虽然为了防止别人祸害你的生活，有时候心怀戒心确实很有必要，但我同意凡事也得有个度。这让我想起了E·M·福斯特小说《霍华德庄园》里的一句话：> “你还记得‘租金’吗？那是父亲常挂在嘴边的一个词——为了理想、为了他对人性的信念而支付的租金。你还记得他过去总是相信陌生人，要是被骗了，他就会说：‘这是……
