A Passage to India (Transaction Large Print Books) Hardcover - 1999
by E.M. Forster
About this book
A Passage to India by E.M.
Forster is considered a monumental work of English Literature. The
book tells the story of race and empire in India during the British
Raj. A false accusation of sexual assault based on racist English
assumptions forms the basis of the story. Dr. Aziz, a Muslim
physician, is accused of assaulting a young woman during an
expedition to Marabar Caves. The trial and ultimate consequences of
the accusation expose the deep problems with British governance in
India during this period, and the depth of feeling opposed to British
rule among the Indian people.
The book has received several awards,
including the James Talt Black Memorial Prize in 1924, and is present
on several lists of the best books of the twentieth century.
