Reseña: “Except for the Marabar Caves- and they are twenty miles off - the city of Chandrapore presents nothing extraordinary.” This is the beginning of an interesting story about the clash of two cultures in India when this country was a British colony.
Aziz, an Indian Mohammedan doctor, is proud of his country´s culture and costumes. He loves India. However, he´s fascinated by British culture and thinks it´s possible to be friend with an Englishman. Adela Quested and Mrs Moore arrive in India. Miss Quested is going to get married to Mrs Moore´s son, the City Magistrate. These women are very interested in getting to know the “real” India. They have great respect for this land. Mr Fielding is the Principal of the Little Government College. He has mixed feelings about India: he´s got the feeling that it´s his home and at the same time he misses his mother country.
One day Mr Fielding asks Aziz to visit the Marabar Caves with the two women. And there, a tragic incident will show the true relationship between colonists and natives.
In my opinion it´s a great novel and I recommend it.
