Ask for price?

This signed limited edition of A Passage to India was published in the same year as the first trade edition. Forster’s famous novel deals with the complex themes set against the backdrop of the British Raj and the Indian independence movement during the 1920s. Despite being controversial on release due to its depictions of relationships between colonizer and colonized, the book went on to win the 1924 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction, and in modern days holds an important place in discussions of orientalist and postcolonial literature.

Time magazine included the novel in its “All-Time 100 Novels” list. David Lean made a well-received film of the book, which was released in 1984, with a cast including Judy Davis, Peggy Ashcrof,t and Alec Guinness.
