L'altre regne

Although he is best known for his novels, E.?M. Forster also wrote exquisite stories, which he called "fantasies", in which myth or the fantastical element made an appearance. In this volume you will find four of these stories, carefully chosen by Vicenç Pagès Jordà and Miquel Berga, who have also prologued and translated them, respectively: "History of a Panic", "The Other Kingdom", "The Eternal Moment" and "The road that comes from Colonos". Four stories full of irony and sharp observation, in which the prejudices and barriers of the rigid British leadership of the time collide with a more desirable way of doing and being, whether at the cost of Amalfi, in the Alps, in Greece or in England itself, and causes quite a few upheavals and uneasiness in the characters, as well as lucid revelations about one's own existence. Elegant and cosmopolitan, with echoes and echoes of meaning that allow themselves to be discovered little by little, the four stories form a coherent and unique whole, a delicious taste of the art of E. M. Forster.
