A Passage to India de E. M. Forster

A Passage to India

Autor E. M. Forster
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 oct 2020
Sometimes a work of fiction gives a better any insight into a time and place than any number of dry history books. E.M Forster's classic narrative of British colonialism and the nationalist awakening in India in the 1920s fits this description. The tale of Adela Quested and her desire to explore the 'real India' remains a powerful analysis of racism and prejudice.

Notă biografică

E.M. Forster (1879-1970) was an English novelist. Born in London to an Anglo-Irish mother and a Welsh father, Forster moved with his mother to Rooks Nest, a country house in rural Hertfordshire, in 1883, following his father¿s death from tuberculosis. He received a sizeable inheritance from his great-aunt, which allowed him to pursue his studies and support himself as a professional writer. Forster attended King¿s College, Cambridge, from 1897 to 1901, where he met many of the people who would later make up the legendary Bloomsbury Group of such writers and intellectuals as Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, and John Maynard Keynes. A gay man, Forster lived with his mother for much of his life in Weybridge, Surrey, where he wrote the novels A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India. Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature sixteen times without winning, Forster is now recognized as one of the most important writers of twentieth century English fiction, and is remembered for his unique vision of English life and powerful critique of the inequities of class.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
A stunning new edition celebrating 100 years since first publication, with a new introduction by Kamila Shamsie, author of Home Fire, winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction

'There's no writer better than Forster at portraying the genuine feelings that are born from the interaction between one human being and another'
KAMILA SHAMSIE

'Forster's last and greatest novel'
DAMON GALGUT, GUARDIAN

'His great book . . . masterly in its prescience and its lucidity'
ANITA DESAI

'The first time I saw you, you were wanting to see India, not Indians, and it occurred to me: Ah, that won't take us far.'

The Indian town of Chandrapore seems to change dramatically season by season, day by day, offering different impressions from each angle it is viewed. Vulnerable to flooding, but blessed by glorious sun, it is surrounded by vast, flat expanses, except for hills to the south that house the extraordinary Marabar Caves.

When Mrs Moore and her younger travelling companion Adela arrive in town, they are frustrated and disappointed that all they can find is the claustrophobia of British colonial culture. Then a chance meeting with the charming and well-respected Dr Aziz seems to present the perfect opportunity to fulfil their desire to see the 'real India'.

But during a guided tour of the Marabar Caves, a strange incident occurs, resulting in a shocking accusation that throws Chandrapore into a fever of racial tension and the doctor straight into the heart of a scandal from which he might never recover.
