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
