About this title

About the Author:

John Fowles (1926-2005) was educated at Oxford and subsequently lectured in English at universities in Greece and the UK. The success of his first novel, The Collector, published in 1963, allowed him to devote all his time to writing. His books include the internationally acclaimed and bestselling novels The Magus, The French Lieutenant's Woman, and Daniel Martin. Fowles spent the last decades of his life on the southern coast of England in the small harbor town of Lyme Regis.

Review:

"A work of imaginative energy and passionate honesty" * The Times * "An instant masterpiece-It is a tour de force of stamina and subtlety" * Daily Telegraph * "A descriptive writer of great power" * Independent * "I find it disastrous to read any of John Fowles' books - once I pick one up, I cannot put it down so everything else gets ignored!" -- Judi Dench * Daily Express *
