«Una habitación con vistas» is the classic novel by E. M. Forster, published by Booket (Planeta) in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Lucy Honeychurch, a young woman from English high society, on a trip to Florence that awakens opposing emotions in her. Forster contrasts Italian vitality with the rigidity of Victorian England and, with irony and humour, narrates her effort to decide her life without submitting to social norms.
Adapted to film by James Ivory, the work was published in English as 'A Room with a View'. This Spanish edition is translated by Marta Pessarrodona and includes a prologue by Encarna Castejón.
For readers of classics and period fiction interested in the inner lives of characters and social irony.
Edward Morgan Forster was an English author. He is best known for his novels, particularly A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). He also wrote numerous short stories, essays, speeches and broadcasts, as well as biographies and pageant plays. His short story "The Machine Stops" (1909) is often viewed as the beginning of technological dystopian fiction. He also co-authored the libretto to Benjamin Britten's opera Billy Budd (1951). Many of his novels examine class differences and hypocrisy. His views as a humanist are at the heart of his work.
