'The buildings of Venice, like the mountains of Crete and the fields of Egypt, stood in the right place, whereas in poor India everything was placed wrong.'
Forster's famous novel is set against the backdrop of the British Raj and the Indian independence movement in the 1920s. The novel brings out all the racial tensions and prejudices between indigenous Indians and the British colonists who ruled India. Scarce in the dustjacket.
First edition, first impression; 8vo; 3pp. advertisements at end, slight age-toning (as usual), else unmarked internally; publisher's red cloth, titles to spine and upper cover in black, upper joint a little marked, with the original dustjacket, spine darkened, some staining, extremities nicked and creased with a couple of short closed tears, rear panel with short split at fold, else very good and scarce thus.
