The Obelisk

Resumen del libro

A collection of eight powerful stories by Forster that were never published during his lifetime, due to their homosexual content.

Hilda and Ernest are a typical married couple, squabbling their way through a day trip. When they meet a pair of sailors they are both disturbed and unsettled, but their initial wariness gives way in an unlikely, and jolly, joint trip to a local landmark, which ends in surprise for both husband and wife... Elsewhere a weekend in the country has tragic results, and a missionary struggles to convert a native chieftain in the dark and powerful The Life to Come'.
