Inhalt: |
Said to be E.M. Forster's own favourite of alI his noveIs and the most autobiographical The Longest Journey was pubIished in 1907 and is described by Forster as the one he is most gIad to have written .
Forster wrote The Longest Journey in 1907, before his full aduIt Iife had started. The fiIm refIects Forster s view that this book, above alI his books, describes what he felt was to happen to him in his own life.
We trace Forster s growing recognition both his development as a writer and of his homosexuality and his need to initiate himself into his own true nature.
We learn of his Iovers and his final Iong reIationship with Bob Buckingham, the good-looking policeman, in whose wife s arms Forster died.
The Longest Journey is a book about the search for redemption in a creative Iife haIf lived and a creative Iife betrayed upon the altar of seIf-seeking convention. This is a modern story that sets out most cIearly the premonitions that Forster continued to have about his own Iife.
l hope my books - such sense and warmth as there is in them wiIl not be forgotten. |
