E. M. Forster's beloved Italian novels, now in a single hardcover volume.<br><br>Forster's most memorably romantic exploration of the liberating effects of Italy on the English, <i>A Room with a View</i> follows the carefully chaperoned Lucy Honeychurch to Florence. There she meets the unconventional George Emerson and finds herself inspired by his refreshingly free spirit - which puts her in mind of &quot;a room with a view&quot; - to escape the claustrophobic snobbery of her guardians back in England. The wicked tragicomedy <i>Where Angels Fear to Tread</i> chronicles a young English widow's trip to Italy and its messy aftermath. When Lilia Herriton impulsively marries a penniless Italian and then dies in childbirth, her first husband's family sets out to rescue the child from his &quot;uncivilized&quot; surroundings. But in ways that they can't possibly imagine, their narrow preconceptions will be upended by the rich and varied charms of Forster's cherished Italy.
