1966 The Magus
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first impression of this work in the vibrant publisher's original price unclipped dust wrapper, illustrated by Tom Adams.
'The Magus' is John Fowles's postmodern novel about Nicholas Urfe, a young man who is teaching English on a small Greek island and becomes embroiled in the psychological illusions of a master trickster.
Considered an example of metafiction, this was Fowles first written novel, but his third to be published. In 1977 he published a revised edition.
A wonderful first edition from Fowles, the renowned British novelist of works positioned between modernism and postmodernism, best known for 'A Maggot', 'The French Lieutenant's Woman', and 'The Collector'.
