A. Forster Knihy
Edward Morgan Forster, publikujúci ako E.M. Forster, bol románopisec, esejista a autor poviedok. Je známy svojimi ironickými a dobre štruktúrovanými románmi, ktoré skúmajú triedne rozdiely a pokrytectvo v britskej spoločnosti začiatku 20. storočia.

Forsterove diela sa často zameriavajú na snahu o osobné spojenia napriek obmedzeniam súčasnej spoločnosti a je známy používaním symboliky ako techniky.
