Book A Passage to India - Lecture for Peace

Karina Jakubowicz will discuss Empire and E. M. Forster, A Passage to India (1924)

This lecture explores one of Forster’s greatest novels in its centenary year.

E. M. Forster, along with other members of the Bloomsbury group and many other people in the early 20th century, could see that the European empires were based on injustice and, to a large extent, sustained through oppression and violence.

A Passage to India explores something of the relations between the Indian and English characters, and the many obstacles to understanding, and to freedom.

All proceeds will be shared equally between the charities below. We hope to contribute in some small way to those who work for peace today.
