E.M. Forster Books

The disregard of a dying woman's bequest, a girl's attempt to help an impoverished clerk, and the marriage of an idealist and a materialist -- all intersect at an estate called Howards End. The fate of this country home symbolizes the future of England in an exploration of social, economic, and philosophical trends during the post-Victorian era.

The modern classic of the re-creation of one day in the life of the sweeper and latrine cleaner Bakha, an untouchable. Anand pours a vitality and richness of detail and conveys with precision, urgency and barely disguised fury what it might have been like to be one of India's untouchables. * A Penguin Twentieth Century Classic. * With a foreword by E.M. Forster.
