E. M Forster

In this hard-hitting novel, first published in 1924, the murky personal relationship between an Englishwoman and an Indian doctor mirrors the troubled politics of colonialism. Adela Quested and her fellow British travelers, eager to experience the "real" India, develop a friendship with the urbane Dr. Aziz. While on a group outing, Adela and Dr. Aziz visit the Marabar caves together. As they emerge, Adela accuses the doctor of assaulting her. While...

Renowned for such classics as A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India, E. M. Forster was one of Britain’s—and the world’s—most distinguished fiction writers, a frequent nominee for the Nobel...

A traveler steps off the road and finds himself in an alternate reality. A sullen boy accidentally summons a spirit. A man gets more than he bargained for when he buys his fiancée a plot of wooded land.

These six stories deal with transformations, the truth of the imagination, and the effect of the unseen on ordinary lives. By juxtaposing the Edwardian English with pagan mythology, E.M. Forster created in this collection a work of lasting

Featuring fourteen short stories, most previously unpublished, The Life to Come spans six decades of E.M. Forster's writing, from approximately 1903 to 1958, and shows Forster at every phase of his writing career. Forster, feeling his career would suffer, never sought publication for most of the stories, hiding these away along with Maurice, his novel of homosexual love. With stories that are lively and amusing (What Does It Matter; The Obelisk),...

A Room with a View by E.M. Forster is a novel that weaves together themes of love, social conventions, and self-discovery. Set in the early 20th century, the story follows the journey of the protagonist, Lucy Honeychurch, as she grapples with the expectations of society and her own desires. The narrative begins with Lucy's journey to Italy accompanied by her older cousin and chaperone, Charlotte Bartlett. They stay at the Pension Bertolini in Florence,...

E. M. Forster (1879-1970) was an English novelist, short story writer, essayist, and librettist. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. Forster's humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel, Howards End: "Only connect..." His 1908 novel, A Room with a View, is his most optimistic work, while...

The setting of A Passage to India is the British Raj, at a time of racial tension heightened by the burgeoning Indian independence movement. Adela Quested, a young British subject, is visiting India to decide whether to marry a suitor who works there as a city magistrate. During her visit, a local physician, Aziz, is accused of assaulting her. His trial brings tensions between the British rulers and their Indian subjects to a head.

Rickie Elliot, a sensitive and congenitally lame young man, orphaned at the age of 15, escapes from the misery of suburban life and the bullying of public school to Cambridge, where, like Forster himself, he finds sympathetic friends, chief amongst them Ansell, a grocer's son. He has literary aspirations (his short stories, Arcadian pastoral fantasies, are remarkably like Forster's own), but is also attracted by Agnes Pembroke, the conventional

A Room With a View, perhaps E. M. Forster’s lightest novel, was also one long in gestation—he began it as early as 1901, and only published it in 1908.

In it we meet young Lucy Honeychurch and her cousin Charlotte Bartlett, who have gone on tour to Italy. During their stay they meet a series of interesting characters, including George Emerson, the son of an eccentric gentleman. The conflict between Lucy’s choice of the unusual

El narrador de Pánico refleja la mezquindad moral y emocional que E.M. Forster considera, con suave ironía, típica de la clase alta inglesa. Este personaje emite juicios sobre todas las situaciones y personas que lo rodean. Sin embargo, como se ¡acta de saber contar una historia sin exageraciones, resuelve hacer un relato imparcial de los extraordinarios sucesos ocurridos ocho años atrás. "Aunque el hermoso cielo azul estaba arriba y los...
