<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Witty, satiric and beautifully modulated, Forster's first novel skewers the moral hypocrisy of the British upper-middle class. Where Angels Fear to Tread is a comedy of manners that farcically demonstrates how a comic clash of cultural sensibilites can quickly turn to tragedy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Like his novel <i>A Room with a View, </i> E. M. Forster's <i>Where Angels Fear to Tread</i> focuses on a group of English men and women living and traveling in Italy. A young Englishman journeys to Tuscany to rescue his late brother's wife from what appears to be an unsuitable romance with an Italian of little fortune. In the events surrounding that match and its fateful consequences, Forster weaves an exciting and eventful tale that intriguingly contrasts English and Italian lives and sensibilities. <br>As in Forster novels, among them <i>Howards End</i> and <i>A Passage to India, Where Angels Fear to Tread</i> reveals the author's deep fascination with all of human experience -- sexual, moral, spiritual, imaginative, material. Acutely observant of the ways of the English middle class, he is as critical here of its snobbishness, greed, and cultural insensitivity as he is respectful of its decency and kindness, common sense, and goodwill. This splendid novel reveals the great breadth of his gifts as both storyteller and humanist -- attributes that continue to make him one of the twentieth century's most admired novelists.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Edward Morgan Forster (1879-1970) wrote short stories, novels, and essays that espoused a humanist point of view. Forster portrayed the struggle to form personal connections within the restrictions of early 20th-century British society in such popular books as <i>Howards End, A Room with a View, </i> and <i>A Passage to India.</i>
