  Buddenbrooks - The Decline of a...

  First published in 1900, when Thomas Mann was 25, Buddenbrooks is a minutely imagined chronicle of four generations of a North German mercantile family - a work so true to life that it scandalized the author's former neighbours in his native Lübeck. As he charts the Buddenbrooks' decline from prosperity to bankruptcy, from moral and psychic soundness to sickly piety, artistic decadence and madness, Mann ushers the reader into a world of rich vitality, pieced together from births and funerals, weddings and divorces, recipes, gossip and earthy humour. It is perhaps the first great family saga of modern literature, and it brought to public notice a writer of world stature who, three decades later, was to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. David Rintoul gives one of his finest performances in this committed and deeply moving reading.

  Howards End

  "To trust people is a luxury in which only the wealthy can indulge; the poor cannot afford it."
  
  First published in 1910, Howards End is considered by many to be Forster's masterpiece, a beguiling and captivating tale that explores social conventions, codes of conduct, and relationships in Edwardian England.
  
  At the centre of the story are three very different families: the wealthy, pragmatic Wilcoxes; the intellectual, idealistic half-German Schlegel siblings; and the Basts, an impoverished young couple from a lower-class background. When the Schlegels become entangled with the Wilcox family, their worlds collide in ways neither side expects as a chance encounter, impetuous youth, love, and ambition play into the inheritance of Howards End, the Wilcox's charming country home.
  
  Richly observed, quietly radical, and emotionally resonant, Howards End is a powerful meditation on the complexities of life and love in a changing world.
  Edward Morgan Forster (1879–1970) was an influential English novelist, essayist, and critic, known for his insightful observations on society and human relationships. He is often recognised as a prominent humanist writer, which reflects in both his literary works and his philosophical outlook; his books highlight the constraints that societal norms impose on individuals and advocate for greater empathy and understanding across class lines. His most famous novels include A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India, and his posthumously published novel Maurice revealed his identity as a gay man and his belief in the necessity of allowing individuals to live authentically.

  "The Bell-Tower" appeared in 1855 in Putnam's Monthly Magazine no. 32 (August).
  In the south of Europe, nigh a once frescoed capital, now with dank mould cankering its bloom, central in a plain, stands what, at distance, seems the black mossed stump of some immeasurable pine, fallen, in forgotten days, with Anak and the Titan.
