E. M. Forster once described The Longest Journey as the book "I am most glad to have written." An introspective novel of manners at once comic and tragic, it tells of a sensitive and intelligent young man with an intense imagination and a certain amount of literary talent.

He sets out full of hope to become a writer, but gives up his aspirations for those of the conventional world, gradually sinking into a life of petty conformity and bitter disappointments.

This is a beautiful, tender early Forster novel; I should know because I have translated it. However, this recording is almost inaudible as it s pre-set to be so quiet, so I cannot comment on the performance. Please turn the volume up or refund me!
