«Life to Come and Other Stories» is the collection of fourteen stories by E. M. Forster, published by Penguin in paperback (288 pages, in English).
The fourteen stories span six decades of Forster's writing, from 1903 to the late fifties. Only two were published in the author's lifetime; the rest, due to their homosexual themes, circulated privately among writer friends such as Christopher Isherwood until their posthumous edition. They range from satirical to historical to intimate.
This Penguin edition, dated November 30, 1989, is part of the Twentieth Century Classics series.
For readers of classic fiction and short stories who want to discover the lesser-known side of E. M. Forster.
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.
