"A young Englishman, Nicholas Urfe, accepts a teaching post on a remote Greek island in order to escape an unsatisfactory love affair. There, his friendship with a reclusive millionaire evolves into a mysterious--and deadly--game of violence, seduction, and betrayal. As he is drawn deeper into the trickster's psychological traps, Nicholas finds it increasingly difficult to distinguish past from present, fantasy from reality. He becomes a desperate man fighting for his sanity and his very survival. [] John Fowles expertly unfolds a spellbinding exploration of the complexities of the human mind. By turns disturbing, thrilling and seductive, THE MAGUS is a masterwork of contemporary literature." [publisher copy] "Great, good, lavish, eerie, fun" & widely considered John Fowles's masterpiece, "THE MAGUS is a stunner. . . It is at once a pyrotechnical extravaganza, a wild, hilarious charade, a dynamo of suspense, a profoundly serious probing into the nature of moral consciousness. . . a dizzying, electrifying chase through the labyrinth of the soul. . ."--The New York Times. "One of the most ambitious novels of the decade. The most striking thing about THE MAGUS is that it returns quite frankly to the old-fashioned novel of suspense and adventure, and is unabashedly episodic, romantic, and chock-full of jolts. It is written in that alternately crisp and toothsome style that the best detective-story writers use to such advantage. What makes the book so unabandonable is its ability to surprise, and never twice in the same way. . . Thoroughly enjoyable all the way through."--Guy Davenport, National Review. Near Fine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, bright-creamy pages, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable for a nearly-50-year-old paperback.
