Ranked among the greatest novels of the 20th century, A Passage to India is now a Major Motion Picture directed by David Lean. This classic account of the clash of cultures in British India after the turn of the century ironically reveals the menace lurking just under the surface of ordinary misunderstanding. Carefully crafted and beautifully written, this is not a book about India alone, but about all human life.
