Description
We may hate one another, but we hate you most . . . yes, we shall drive every blasted Englishman into the sea.”
On that fateful day, when Dr. Aziz took Mrs. Moore and Miss Adela Quested to the famous Marabar Caves, he had no idea that his whole life was about to turn upside down.
All Aziz had done was kindly offer to show the ‘ real’ India to the two Englishwomen who had newly arrived in his country. But on the day of the excursion, upon returning from the Caves, he was slapped with the accusation of a sexual assault.
What happens when Aziz is brought to court?
Does the man get justice? Or has his race earmarked him for prison?
Set in the fictional town of Chandrapore, in the pre-Independence era of India, A Passage to India portrays colonialism, racial prejudice, and the dynamics of Anglo-Indian relations with striking realism. Considered Forster’ s most successful novel, it was adapted into a film in 1984, and was featured in Time magazine’ s list of hundred best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005.
About the Author
"One of the most influential writers in the British canon, Henry Morgan Forster was born on the New Year’s Day of 1879. Henry, who was accidentally christened Edward Morgan Forster, was raised by his mother and aunts.
After finishing his education, Forster decided to devote his time to writing. In 1910-1913, Forster wrote Maurice, a novel about homosexual love that ‘argues for the preservation of a space, physical or psychological, beyond any sort of scrutiny’ (The Guardian). It was published posthumously in 1971, nearly sixty years after being written.
Forster wrote many short stories, publishing them in collections such as The Celestial Omnibus, and Other Stories (1911), The Eternal Moment, and Other Stories (1928), The Collected Tales of E. M. Forster (1947), The Life to Come, and Other Stories (1972), and Arctic Summer, and Other Fiction (1980). But his fame rests mainly on his novels, such as Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905), The Longest Journey (1907), A Room with a View (1908) earlier titled Lucy, and A Passage to India (1924) that remains his most celebrated work.
Forster had a stroke and breathed his last on June 7, 1970. His ashes were scattered in the rose garden of Coventry’s crematorium, near Warwick University."
