Edward Morgan Forster was born into a middle-class Victorian family of Anglo-Irish and Welsh ancestry in London on January 1, 1879. Forster had no particular career in mind upon graduation from King's College in 1901, although he had begun writing short stories. To the end of his life Forster continued to be an influential voice on the modern cultural scene and an admired presence in Cambridge -- and was awarded the Order of Merit by Queen Elizabeth II in 1969. E. M. Forster died on June 7, 1970, following a massive stroke.

From the Publisher

A group of English visitors want to see the “real” India, and in Dr. Aziz they find a highly civilized companion. During a visit to the Marabar caves, one of the women accuses Dr. Aziz of sexually assaulting her, triggering a chain of events that will change the lives of people on both sides of this complex conflict. Arguably Forster's greatest novel, A Passage to India transforms the personal into the political and actor Sam Dastor brilliantly evokes the mood, setting, and accents of this Forster classic.
