E. M. Forster 
The Longest Journey [EPUB ebook] 

’The Longest Journey’ is a bildungsroman by E. M. Forster, first published in 1907, that the author once described as the book 'I am most glad to have written.’
'The Longest Journey’ is an introspective novel of manners at once comic and tragic that 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.
