About this listen

E. M. Forster once described The Longest Journey as the book "I am most glad to have written." An introspective novel of manners at once comic and tragic, it tells of a sensitive and intelligent young man with an intense imagination and a certain amount of literary talent.

He sets out full of hope to become a writer, but gives up his aspirations for those of the conventional world, gradually sinking into a life of petty conformity and bitter disappointments.

This is a beautiful, tender early Forster novel; I should know because I have translated it. However, this recording is almost inaudible as it s pre-set to be so quiet, so I cannot comment on the performance. Please turn the volume up or refund me!
