THE MACHINE STOPS AND OTHER STORIES - E M FORST...

A new selection of E. M. Forster's exquisite short stories  now in the beautifully designed
Penguin English Library Series 'We created the Machine  to do our will  but we cannot make it
do our will now. It has robbed us of the sense of space and of the sense of touch  it has
blurred every human relation and narrowed down love to a carnal act  it has paralyzed our
bodies and our wills  and now it compels us to worship it.' Like his much-loved novels  E. M.
Forster's short stories are rich in irony and alive with sharp observations on the surprises
life holds. Telling tales of violent events  discomforting coincidences  and other disruptive
happenings  his sharp and vivid prose has the ability to throw the characters'  and reader's 
perceptions and beliefs off balance. Selected to appeal to a new generation of readers around
the world  this new selection of short stories in the Penguin English Library series celebrates
E. M. Forster's unparalleled skill for storytelling  beginning with his masterful work of
science fiction  The Machine Stops.
