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
Rating: 5* of five One of the best books I've read about writing novels. A truly inspirational guide to a complex and daunting effort. It is scary enough to make the decision to write a novel. To face the prospect without a reliable guide? UNTHINKABLE!!
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
Not exactly a how-to guide or a critique, Forster very basically explains different aspects of the novel through a series of lectures he gave in the late 1920s. A lot of the books that he refers to I’ve never read and probably never will (Les Faux Monnayeurs, not so much interested in), but he usual Leggi tutto
3.5/5 Stars I had to read this series of lectures by E.M. Forster for one of my classes and I found it quite interesting, especially in some parts. I also really appreciated how clear he was in his explanations and how every aspect was touched upon and not left unresolved. If you're interested in fic Leggi tutto
I enjoyed it to some extent, especially the laugh-out-loud moments where he points out how utterly ridiculous a plot is, or quotes a parody of Henry James by H G Wells. But many of the books of which he speaks are ones I have never even heard of and so I must confess that there were times when he lo Leggi tutto
