Many of his novels examined class difference and hypocrisy, including A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). The last brought him his greatest success. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 16 different years. In the 1930s and 1940s Forster became a notable broadcaster on BBC Radio and a public figure associated with the Union of Ethical Societies. In addition to his broadcasting, he advocated individual liberty and penal reform and opposed censorship by writing articles, sitting on committees and signing letters. His weekly book review during the war was commissioned by George Orwell, who was the talks producer at the India Section of the BBC from 1941 to 1943. At 85 Forster went on a pilgrimage to the Wiltshire countryside that had inspired his favourite novel The Longest Journey, escorted by William Golding. In 1969 he was made a member of the Order of Merit. Forster died of a stroke on 7 June 1970 at the age of 91, at the Buckinghams' home in Coventry.\"","brand":"Royal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51777295909138,"sku":"9781778780356","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_79d2d281-471d-4ee2-8f56-61929c105abf.jpg?v=1765359959","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/a-room-with-a-view-royal-collectors-edition-case-laminate-hardcover-with-jacket-9781778780356","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
