Meer oor die skrywer
E. M. Forster (1879–1970) was an acclaimed English novelist and essayist whose work sharply dissected Edwardian class rigidity, human connection, and cultural hypocrisy in celebrated masterworks like A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India. With his eerily prescient 1909 novella “The Machine Stops,” Forster made a singular, visionary detour into science fiction, astonishingly forecasting the internet, video calling, and humanity’s total technological alienation more than a century ahead of his time.
Called “a master in his field” by The New York Times and “in a class by himself” by Oprah Daily, Edoardo Ballerini is an award-winning and celebrated narrator of audiobooks.
