The Eternal Moment and Other Stories

Six compelling tales intertwined with fantasy spotlight the profound humanism that E. M. Forster developed in his later novels. These early writings provide readers with a thought-provoking exploration of the human spirit, allowing for the possibility of a life-altering epiphany that frequently conflicts with conventional wisdom. From the prescient science fiction dystopia "The Machine Stops" to the title story, "The Eternal Moment," each character is engulfed by a separation of reality from illusion and every experience prompts a transformation within. With opposing perspectives at play, the characters can never be the same. This extraordinary short story collection also includes "The Point of It," "Mr. Andrews," "Co-ordination," and "The Story of the Siren."
