First published in 1924, this novel can basically be read on two levels: mystic and polical. Mystically it is concerned with the search for the infinite and eternal so characteristic of Oriental religion, and with the illogical and inexplicable in human life. The visit to the Marabar Caves illustrates the malignant side of the mysticism, the Temple-Festival at the close, its benignity. Politically it deals with the tensions between the British and the native Indians, as well as with the tension between Hindus and Muslims. FTP, divided into three sections which correspond to the three seasons of the Indian year: the Cold Weather, the Hot Weather, and the Rains, identify this E. M. Forster work.
