'An astonishing achievement' Anthony Burgess
John Fowles (Afterword by, Author)
John Fowles was born in 1926. He won international recognition with
The Collector, his first published title, in 1963. He was
immediately acclaimed as an outstandingly innovative writer of
exceptional imaginative power, and this reputation was confirmed
with the appearance of his subsequent works- The Aristos, The
Magus, The French Lieutenant's Woman, The Ebony Tower, Daniel
Martin, Mantissa, and A Maggot. John Fowles died in Lyme Regis in
2005. Two volumes of his Journals have recently been published; the
first in 2003, the second in 2006.
A major work of mounting tensions in which the human mind is the
guinea-pig... Mr Fowles has taken a big swing at a difficult
subject and his hits are on the bull's eye

One of those that's best read as a teenager, but once read you'll
never forget it
