A Passage to India de E. M. Forster

A Passage to India: The Penguin English Library

Autor E. M. Forster
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 aug 2015
Exploring issues of colonialism, faith and the limits of comprehension, E.M. Forster's A Passage to India is published as a Penguin Essential for the first time.
When Adela Quested and her elderly companion Mrs Moore arrive in the Indian town of Chandrapore, they quickly feel trapped by its insular and prejudiced 'Anglo-Indian' community. Determined to escape the parochial English enclave and explore the 'real India', they seek the guidance of the charming and mercurial Dr Aziz, a cultivated Indian Muslim. But a mysterious incident occurs while they are exploring the Marabar caves with Aziz, and the well-respected doctor soon finds himself at the centre of a scandal that rouses violent passions among both the British and their Indian subjects. A masterly portrait of a society in the grip of imperialism, A Passage to India compellingly depicts the fate of individuals caught between the great political and cultural conflicts of the modern world.
'His great book ... masterly in its presence and its lucidity'
Anita Desai

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.
