A Passage to India

First Line:

Except for the Marabar Caves--and they are twenty miles off--the city of Chandrapore presents nothing extraordinary.

Description:

A classic account of the clash of cultures in British India after the turn of the century.

Selected Reviews:

"The novel is a triumph of the humanistic spirit....It is also a work of art exquisite rather than profound. Last of all, it is a peculiarly valuable picture of the state of India seen through a very...courageous intelligence."

--Edwin Muir, Nation
