Book excerpt: A Newly Published edition of E.M. Forster's novel "A Passage To India." This edition includes: - A new introduction to the novel and the context of the British Raj - A short biography of E.M. Forster First published in 1924, A Passage to India is a novel that focuses on the independence movement that took place in India during the 1920s when the cracks in the British Empire were emerging. In his novel, English author, Edward Morgan Forster (January 1, 1879 - June 7, 1970), better known as E. M. Forster, introduces the reader to the country's quest to gain its freedom from the British Raj. India was formerly ruled by the British Crown. At the centre of the novel is the story of the trial of an Indian physician who has been accused of raping an Englishwoman. The Englishwoman, Adela Quested, accuses Dr. Aziz, the Indian physician, of assaulting her when he follows her into a cave (fictional caves called Marabar Cave, which is based on the Barabar Caves located in the Jehanabad District of Bihar, India). Dr. Aziz is a respected member of the Muslim community in India. He, like many other Indians who belong to his social class, find themselves to be in what can be described as an ambivalent relationship with the British administration that is ruling over India. He finds the British to be rude and is scornful of them, which leads him to try to ignore them completely. Despite his feelings for the British, Dr. Aziz finds Mrs. Moore's attempt to befriend him to be flattering. In addition, Cyril Fielding, an Englishman, also tries to befriend him. Mr. Fielding is the only British person who seems to have a genuine interest in helping Dr. Aziz when he is accused of assaulting Adela. Despite the attempts made by Mr. Fielding to help him, Dr. Aziz believes that at some point he will be betrayed by Mr. Fielding. In the novel, Forster seems to suggest that there are barriers in the way of their relationship. Forster even seems to suggest that the barriers present do not allow both individuals to demonstrate a relationship that reflects a true friendship. Inherently, A Passage to India deals with human relationships. Due to the circumstances that surround these two characters, their friendship is just like other friendships between the British and Indians. The circumstances under which they live in keep them apart. Their friendship is challenged by the landscape that has come to exist in India under the British Empire's rule.

Book excerpt: An essential companion to A Passage to India, a collection of the author’s own letters that read like “a close personal friend has shared his impressions” (Kirkus Reviews). In 1912, a young E. M. Forster traveled to India to serve as a secretary to the Maharajah of Dewas, a small Indian state. He was elevated to the rank of a minor noble, and eventually given the state’s highest honor, the Tukoji Rao III gold medal. This brief episode in Forster’s life became the basis for his masterwork, A Passage to India. In the letters included in The Hill of Devi, he shares his personal journey of discovering his beloved India for the first time. Forster paints a vivid, intimate picture of Dewas State—a strange, bewildering, and enchanting slice of pre-independence India. In this collection, Forster shares insight into the lives of Indian royalty and accounts of the stark contrast between their excesses and the poverty he encounters. From letters that set the scene for Forster’s lifelong friendship with the Maharaja, to an essay on the Maharaja himself and Forster’s experiences as the Maharaja’s personal secretary, The Hill of Devi is a fascinating chronicle of the author’s experience in the land he called “the oddest corner of the world outside Alice in Wonderland.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Quem, whom; fugis, are you avoiding; ab demens, you silly ass; habitarunt di quoque, gods too have lived in; silvas, the woods.' Go ahead!"I always brighten the classics—it is part of my system—and therefore I translated demens by "silly ass." But Miss Beaumont need not have made a note of the translation, and Ford, who knows better, need not have echoed after me. "Whom are you avoiding, you silly ass, gods too have lived in the woods.""Ye—es," I replied, with scholarly hesitation. "Ye—es. Silvas—woods, wooded spaces, the country generally. Yes. Demens, of course, is de—mens. 'Ah, witless fellow! Gods, I say, even gods have dwelt in the woods ere now.'"
