When Adela and her elderly companion Mrs Moore arrive in the Indian

town of Chandrapore, they quickly feel trapped by its insular and

prejudiced British community. Determined to explore the real

India', they seek the guidance of the charming and mercurial Dr

Aziz, a cultivated Indian Muslim. But a mysterious incident occurs

while they are exploring the Marabar caves with Aziz, and the

well-respected doctor soon finds himself at the centre of a scandal

that rouses violent passions among both the British and their

Indian subjects. A masterly portrait of a society in the grip of

imperialism, A Passage to India compellingly depicts the fate of

individuals caught between the great political and cultural

conflicts of the modern world.

Taking off his spectacles, as was his habit before enunciating a general truth, he looked into them sadly, and remarked that the darker races are physically attracted by the fairer, but not vice versa - not a matter for bitterness this, not a matter for abuse, but just a fact which any scientific observer will confirm.

"She'll apologize if that's the trouble," He cried, sitting up. "Look, I'll make you an offer. Dictate to me whatever form of words you like, and this time to-morrow I'll bring it back signed. This is not instead of any public apology she may make you in law. It's an addition."

" 'Dear Dr Aziz, I wish you had come into the cave; I am an awful old hag, and it is my last chance.' Will she sign that?"

All over the city and over much of India the same retreat on the part of humanity was beginning, into cellars, up hills, under trees. April, herald of horrors, is at hand. The sun was returning to his kingdom with power but without beauty—that was the sinister feature. If only there had been beauty! His cruelty would have been tolerable then. Through excess of light, he failed to triumph, he also; in his yellowy-white overflow not only matter, but brightness itself lay drowned. He was not the unattainable friend, either of men or birds or other suns, he was not the eternal promise, the never-withdrawn suggestion that haunts our consciousness; he was merely a creature, like the rest, and so debarred from glory

“是啊，从阿齐兹的领带别针到他的鞋罩，他整个的穿着还是停高雅的，可是他忘了扣背部领扣。这样的印度人你到处可以看到，他们做事松懈、懒散，对小事漫不经心；这种致命的惰性暴露了整个民族的弱点。

两人的忠诚坦率使他们变得温和起来，于是他们开始感到孤独和轻率。使他们分道扬镳的是他们不同的人生经历，而不是他们性格的不合。

自由职业者的富有幽默感的成功对政府官员没有任何帮助。
