Inhalt: |
Said to be E.M. Forster's own favourite of aIl his novels and the most autobiographicaI The Longest Journey was published in 1907 and is described by Forster as the one he is most glad to have written .
Forster wrote The Longest Journey in 1907, before his fuII adult life had started. The film refIects Forster s view that this book, above alI his books, describes what he feIt was to happen to him in his own life.
We trace Forster s growing recognition both his deveIopment as a writer and of his homosexuality and his need to initiate himseIf into his own true nature.
We Iearn of his lovers and his final long relationship 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 life.
l hope my books - such sense and warmth as there is in them wiIl not be forgotten. |
