Features: This is a novel depicting a homosexual relationship. Maurice and Clive, classmates at Cambridge University, fall in love after three years while enduring the pressure of social discrimination. Clive suddenly proposes to break off the relationship and marries Annie. This upheaval nearly drives Maurice to a mental breakdown, leading him down the path of suicide. He seeks therapy from a psychologist, condemning himself for his guilt, until he meets Alek, a gamekeeper who deeply loves him. The original manuscript was first drafted in 1914. Mr. Qiao Gan, who shared a profound friendship with Forster, was the only Chinese person fortunate enough to read the draft. After Mr. Qiao Gan's passing, his wife, Wen Jieruo, released a completely new translation to commemorate the invaluable friendship between the two writers from China and England.
