«Donde los ángeles no se aventuran» is E. M. Forster's first novel, published by Seix Barral in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Monteriano, an imaginary Tuscan town inspired by San Gimignano, it recounts the wedding of the widow Lilia Herriton to an Italian twelve years her junior, Gino, and the scandal it causes in the English community. Forster contrasts English codes of conduct with Gino's behavior, combining irony and psychological observation.
Originally published in 1905 as 'Where Angels Fear to Tread'; this Spanish edition, translated by Maite Cirugeda Gales, appeared in 1991 in the Biblioteca Breve collection.
Edward Morgan Forster was an English author. He is best known for his novels, particularly A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). He also wrote numerous short stories, essays, speeches and broadcasts, as well as biographies and pageant plays. His short story "The Machine Stops" (1909) is often viewed as the beginning of technological dystopian fiction. He also co-authored the libretto to Benjamin Britten's opera Billy Budd (1951). Many of his novels examine class differences and hypocrisy. His views as a humanist are at the heart of his work.
