Title: A Passage To India: Description:
E.M. Forster's best-known novel, A Passage to India, was first published in 1924, when the author was in his mid-forties. He said that he wrote the book because he loved India, and for his material he was able to draw on the experience of two lengthy visits to parts of that vast sub-continent, the Empire which, in those days, contained the whole of what are now India, Pakistan, Bangla Desh, Burma and Ceylon. At the centre of the novel is the racial clash, the gulf that existed between the representatives of British imperialism and those over whom they held sway. In that sense, it could be regarded as a political novel, but while Forster admits that it contains plenty about politics, he says that he was attempting something rather different.

Title: Where Angels Fear To Tread (twentieth Century Classics): Description:
E.M.Forster's first novel about a group of well-bred English people confronted by a situation which is outside their experience.

Title: A Room With A View (twentieth Century Classics): Description:
In this brillant piece of social comedy Forster is concerned with one of his favourite themes:' the undeveloped heart' of the english middle classes, who are represented by a group of tourists and expatriates in Florence. The english abroad are observed with a sharply ironic eye, but one of them, the young and unaffected Lucy Honeychurch, is also drawn with great sympathy. In her relationships with her dismal cousin Charlotte, with the unconventional Emersons and - the scene transferred to England - with her supercilious fiance, Lucy is torn between lingering Victorian proprieties, social and sexual, and the spontaneous promptings of her heart ('an undeveloped heart not a cold one')

Title: A Passage To India: Description:
Classic story set around the visit of a British woman to India.

Title: Maurice: Description:
A new edition of this novel, which although written in 1914, was not published until after the author's death in 1970 because of its homosexual content. It tells the story of a young man at Cambridge, who falls in love with another man who betrays him by turning to women. But then he meets someone else and finds happiness with him.

Title: The Life To Come And Other Stories (abinger Edition Of E.m. Forster): Description:
The fourteen stories in this book span six decades-from 1903 to 1957 or even later-and represent every phase of Forster`s career as a writer. Only two have ever been published, and these only in magazines to which few people have easy access. Two very different reasons caused the other twelve to remain unpublished in forster`s lifetime. One was his diffidence, which in his earlier years led him to belittle work that had failed to find immediate acceptance. There are four such stories in this edition, and it is hard, today, to understand why they were rejected by the same editors that were publishing his other work. The remaining stories were debarred from publication-far more forcibly than Maurice-by their overtly homosexual themes.

Title: Howards End: Description:
