The Celestial Omnibus, and Other Stories
E. M. Forster
Read by Kirsten Wever
With twenty Nobel Prize nominations to his credit, E. M. Forster may reasonably be considered one of the best writers of the 20th century – perhaps of all time. He is best known for his 1924 novel A Passage to India. But almost all his writings met with rapid critical, popular and international success.
Forster’s world-view was exceptionally broad – even multi-cultural – as expressed in the humanism characterizing all his works, in the wide-ranging social criticism of Howard’s End, and in the spiritual and mystical themes for which A Passage to India is famous, and which also underlie the stories collected in The Celestial Omnibus. - Summary by Kirsten Wever (4 hr 27 min)
