Descrizione
Maurice is heartbroken over unrequited love, which opened his heart and mind to his own sexual identity. In order to be true to himself, he goes against the grain of society’s often unspoken rules of class, wealth, and politics.
Forster understood that his homage to same-sex love, if published when he completed it in 1914, would probably end his career. Thus, Maurice languished in a drawer for fifty-seven years, the author requesting it be published only after his death (along with his stories about homosexuality later collected in The Life to Come).
Since its release in 1971, Maurice has been widely read and praised. It has been, and continues to be, adapted for major stage productions, including the 1987 Oscar-nominated film adaptation starring Hugh Grant and James Wilby.

Uma história sobre identidade e amor...\n\nMaurice fala mais do que sobre relacionamentos entre dois homens, fala sobre identidade e como a nossa sexualidade faz parte de quem somos, não é doença e definitivamente não é uma ""escolha"".\n\nAmei a forma como ele termina ciente de que pode até ser que a relação não dure para sempre, mas que seria pior viver uma mentira e não arriscar tudo por uma noite de verdadeira felicidade!
