About This Novel
The masterpiece of 13-time Nobel Prize for Literature nominee E. M. Forster; "Give them a chance. Give them money. Don't treat them like children. Give them poetry books and train tickets." England at the beginning of the 20th century, London in the Edwardian era. The two Schlegel sisters, who come from a well-off family, are confident and beautiful, are obsessed with various ideological salons and literary and artistic societies in London, working together to shape their spiritual world far away from the mortal world. An accidental encounter allows sister Helen to get acquainted with the Wilcox family, an upstart business community, and sparks an incredible love affair with their youngest son Paul. However, this love affair was short-lived, and the backlash of disillusionment pushed Helen to the opposite side of the Wilcox family - Leonard Buster, a young man who was financially strapped but unwilling to be mediocre. Meanwhile, sister Margaret enters the world of her husband Henry, a man of action, through her friendship with Mrs. Wilcox. This time, material does not reject the spirit, but attracts and connects two opposite magnetic poles... The two sisters seem to have embarked on two completely opposite paths, but the hand of fate has prepared a home for them in the countryside far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. Finally, in the quiet Howards End, emotion and reason finally crossed the gap and completed the "connection" in the ultimate sense.
