«The Longest Journey» is the classic novel by E. M. Forster, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (416 pages, in English).
Rickie Elliot leaves Cambridge hoping to be a writer, but gives up that dream when he marries the beautiful and shallow Agnes and takes a teaching post at a mediocre school. His gradual descent into conformity allows Forster to explore morality, social class, and the struggle between ideals and conventional life.
The novel was originally published in 1907; this Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Elizabeth Heine.
For the general reader interested in classics of English literature and Edwardian fiction.
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.
