Penguin, 2011
416 str.
meki povez
stanje: dobro

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 masterful 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.

In his introduction, Pankaj Mishra outlines Forster`s complex engagement with Indian society and culture. This edition reproduces the Abinger text and notes, and also includes four of Forster`s essays on India, a chronology and further reading.
