«A Passage to India» is the classic novel by E. M. Forster, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (368 pages, in English).
Adela Quested and Mrs. Moore, newly arrived in Chandrapore in colonial India, clash with the closed Anglo-Indian community. An incident in the Marabar Caves with Dr. Aziz turns the Indian doctor into a suspect and ignites tensions between colonizers and the colonized. The work is a portrait of imperialism and the encounter between cultures.
The novel was originally published in 1924 and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Prix Femina-Vie Heureuse. This Penguin Classics edition came out in 1989.
For book clubs and for readers of English literature classics and historical fiction about colonialism.
Edward Morgan Forster was an English author. He is best known for his novels, particularly A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). He also wrote numerous short stories, essays, speeches and broadcasts, as well as biographies and pageant plays. His short story "The Machine Stops" (1909) is often viewed as the beginning of technological dystopian fiction. He also co-authored the libretto to Benjamin Britten's opera Billy Budd (1951). Many of his novels examine class differences and hypocrisy. His views as a humanist are at the heart of his work.
