What a book! Over 120 years old and it still feels on point today.

the harrowing part isnt how accurately Forrester was able to predict 21st century technology in 1909, but how bleak and soulless he makes it sound, because he’s right. every “chronically online” person should read this.

Lidas todas as obras traduzidas em português, posso dizer sem qualquer restrição que E.M.Forster é um escritor cujos livros tenho (já) vontade de ler outra vez. Controverso, sofisticado, diversificado, culto, viajante e amante das fantasias das civilizações antigas criou um mundo, que adjectivo de Forsteriano.

Esta colectânea contém isso tudo e ainda um conto distópico escrito em 1909 (sim, leiam lá outra vez! 1909).

Classifico com 4 estrelas pois os muito bons compensam aqueles que, não tanto de acordo com o meu gosto pessoal, se ambientam num mundo mágico, afastado de todos os lugares-comuns aos quais se chama realidade.
