Sinossi
Prefazione di Giuseppe Pontiggia
Traduzione di Corrado Pavolini
In Aspetti del romanzo, che raccoglie alcune conferenze tenute a Cambridge nel 1927, Forster indaga le tecniche e gli strumenti dell’arte del narrare. Le categorie che propone sono semplici e fondamentali, e insieme sommamente precise: «storia», «persone», «intreccio», «fantasia», «profezia», «modello e ritmo». Spiando gli scrittori al lavoro, Forster porta alla luce analogie inattese tra i procedimenti di Richardson e di James, di Dickens e di Welles, di Sterne e della Woolf. E al lettore regala preziose intuizioni: come quando individua la prerogativa dell’autore nel conoscere «la vita nascosta» delle sue creature – privilegio che quasi mai è concesso nel mondo reale – o quando teorizza, in largo anticipo sui tempi, la natura aperta del romanzo: «L’espansione: ecco l’idea a cui i romanzieri devono rifarsi, non la completezza». Libro di culto per generazioni di narratori, questo piccolo capolavoro incarna tutta la sapienza critica e l’intelligenza di una delle grandi voci del Novecento.

They said to me "Do you do Twitter?" I said no, I have Goodreads. They said "What about Facebook?" I said no, I have Goodreads - this is funny, someone said it should be called Bookface. They didn't get that. They said "Do you have a blog?" I said well, no, I do Goodreads. They looked at each other, and th Leggi tutto
Towards a Poetics of The Novel Here is a nice pseudo-scholarly jaunt through what 'aspects' go towards the creation of the Novel-form. Forster isolates a few of these aspects and discusses them, but the the 'rhythm' of the lectures, to use his own terminology, is one of insufficiency. It is as if
"No English Novelist is as great as Tolstoy" ...as if I couldn't love E.M. Forster even more!!! That fact that one of my favorite authors (Forster) has also read and loved the same books as I have just makes my heart sing! Going into this book, I thought it was going to be a type of "guide to writing Leggi tutto
Loved it to bits... Not necessarily for what he says or thinks or concludes (when he does so, which isn't often, since he's always undercutting and sabotaging any hint of a clear "theoretical" position, in favour of a certain not always certain eclecticism), but for how he thinks and especially how
My favorite take away from this is that people in books don't have to eat. They can exist, Forster says, without food. Following this logic, unlike actors on a film set, characters shouldn't need catering. So, when they sit down at a table, I take note. Something important is about to happen. Try to Leggi tutto
فورستر بهطور خاص درباره رمان و این قالب خاص صحبت نمیکنه. بیشتر داره تعدادی از رمانها رو براساس چند ویژگی که خودش درنظر گرفته بررسی میکنه. چیزهایی میشه ازش گرفت اما اندک. Leggi tutto
As much as I absolutely love some of Forster’s novels, there was something about this book which failed to reach me entirely. In about half of it, he was lucid and original, using text examples that I knew, and lifting their meanings to new heights; introducing his famous ‘flat’ and ‘round’ characte Leggi tutto
Differenziertes aus dem Nähkästchen Plaudern Forsters Aspects of the novel , 1927 erschienen, steht als Vorläufer und Bezugspunkt für die darauffolgenden Narratologie-Diskussionen, bspw. von Gérard Genettes Die Erzählung , Käte Hamburger Die Logik der Dichtung oder Franz K. Stanzels Theorie
