E. M. Forster: Maurice, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Maurice Hall plays the role of the conventional Englishman, but behind the facade of a modest and generally conformist boy, there is a growing desire and attraction to men. Through Clive, whom he will meet in Cambridge, and Alec, the gamekeeper of Clive's country estate, Maurice will experience an intense and revealing emotional and sexual awakening. A novel of passion, courage and defiance that condemns the repressive attitudes of British society. A moving love story that is both the narrative of an intimate erotic and political discovery. Maurice is a deeply personal novel that Forster finished writing in 1914 but, fearing it would spell the end of his career, he put away for more than fifty years. It was published posthumously in 1971.
