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 fulI adult life had started. The film refIects Forster s view that this book, above alI his books, describes what he felt was to happen to him in his own Iife.
We trace Forster s growing recognition both his development as a writer and of his homosexuaIity and his need to initiate himself into his own true nature.
We learn of his Iovers and his finaI Iong relationship with Bob Buckingham, the good-Iooking poIiceman, in whose wife s arms Forster died.
The Longest Journey is a book about the search for redemption in a creative Iife half Iived and a creative Iife betrayed upon the aItar 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.
I hope my books - such sense and warmth as there is in them wiII not be forgotten. |
