A Passage to India
by E M Forster

A Passage to India Cover

Powells.com Staff Pick

Ezra Pound said, "Fundamental accuracy of statement is the one sole morality of writing." I think this might be the best novel of cross-cultural misunderstanding written in the English language. On one level, it is pure sensual delight. On another, it's a wonderful mystery. On a third level, it utilizes that accuracy Pound was talking about above with great compassion, comedy, and depth. It is filled with characters who blithely go about their lives with little understanding of why others do as they do. Whether taken on one level or many, this is a novel you'll love and savor over and over again. Recommended by Fidel

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Among the greatest novels of the twentieth century and the basis for director David Lean’s Academy Award-winning film, A Passage to India tells of the clash of cultures in British India after the turn of the century. In exquisite prose, Forster reveals the menace that lurks just beneath the surface of ordinary life, as a common misunderstanding erupts into a devastating affair.

Synopsis:
