Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 6 A Passage To India
E. M. Forster
STAGE 6 - Classics
A mysterious incident at the Marabar Caves, involving Adela Quested, newly arrived from England, and Dr Aziz, an Indian doctor, leads to a drama that divides the British and Indian communities in anger, distrust, and fear.
Forsters great novel brings to life all the dangers and misunderstandings of colonialism but, as Forster himself wrote, the story is about something wider than politics, about the search of the human race for a more lasting home, about the universe as
embodied
in the Indian earth and the Indian sky, about the horror lurking in the Marabar Caves...

Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 5 Heat and Dust
Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
Retold by Clare West
STAGE 5 - Human Interest
Heat and dust - these simple, terrible words describe the Indian summer. Year after year, endlessly, it is the same. And everyone who experiences this heat and dust is changed for ever.
We often say, in these modern times, that sexual relationships have changed, for better or for worse. But in this book we see that things have not changed. Whether we look back sixty years, or a hundred and sixty, we see that it is not things that change, but people. And, in
the heat and
dust of an Indian summer, even people are not very different after all.

Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 5 The Riddle of the Sands
Erskine Childers
Retold by Peter Hawkins
STAGE 5 - Thriller & Adventure
When Carruthers joins his friend Arthur Davies on his yacht Dulcibella, he is expecting a pleasant sailing holiday in the Baltic Sea. But the holiday turns into an adventure of a different kind. He and Davies soon find themselves sailing in the stormy waters of the North Sea, exploring the channels and sandbanks around the German Frisian Islands, and looking for a secret - a secret that could mean great danger for England.
Erskine Childers' novel, published in 1903, was the first great modern spy story, and is still as exciting to read today as it was a hundred years ago.
