Edward Morgan Forster OM CH (1 January 1879 – 7 June 1970) was an English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. Many of his novels examined class difference and hypocrisy, including A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). The last brought him his greatest success. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 16 different years.
A wonderful story of questioning, disillusionment, and conversion, Where Angels Fear to Tread tells the story of a prim English family’s encounter with the foreign land of Italy. When attractive, impulsive English widow Lilia marries Gino, a dashing and highly unsuitable Italian twelve years her junior, her snobbish former in-laws make no attempts to hide their disapproval. But their expedition to face the uncouth foreigner takes an unexpected turn when they return to Italy under tragic circumstances intending to rescue Lilia and Gino’s baby.
正如前言所述,这本小说故事完整,各用了四个章节叙述了两起死亡,直至最后,那座冰山的一角才正式浮出水面,多少有些让人吃惊。但回过头想想,当阿博特小姐袒露自己对吉诺的爱慕时,她的原因几乎近似于开头的莉莉娅,带着暮色的夕阳、吉诺的体格,当然还有一个原因,私...

评分书不长,很吸引人,两天就看完了。英国的拘谨和刻板,意大利的美与生机,两种文化形成了鲜明的对比。 假如一开始是阿博特小姐嫁给吉诺,也许就不会有悲剧的发生了,结局会很好多,她清楚得看透吉诺的本来面目——不过是一个有着男人力气与激情的小男孩而已。可惜世界上没有如果...

评分作者把人物特点写得很鲜明,偏见、冲突、反转,写得挺有趣、热闹开场,暗淡收尾。让人想到王尔德喜剧里的跌宕起伏,也仿佛看到詹姆斯笔下的一些人物。
评分福斯特笔下的讽刺是温和的。他的长处是让笔下的人物不断对话(有点啰嗦),来推进人物性格和心理上的变化。小说的局限性也很明显,当时的作者就像自己笔下描述的Philip一样 "without passion, look on life as a spectacle, don't enter it, only find it funny or beautiful".
评分1905. 时隔几年 终于读完了. the cursed impudence, the petty unselfishness, a mere little vexatious incident. "There's something majestic in the bad taste of Italy, it's not the bad taste of a country that knows no better, it has not the nervous vulgarity of England or the blinded vulgarity of Germany, it observes beauty and chooses to pass it by."2333
