What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first impression, in the publisher's original price unclipped dust wrapper.
Fowles's third published novel examines the fraught relationship between a gentleman naturalist and the former governess with whom he falls in love, with the work both following and challenging the conventions of the novels of the Victorian period.
The novel was adapted for the screen by Harold Pinter.
An excellent first edition by Fowles, the renowned British novelist of works positioned between modernism and postmodernism, best known for 'The Magus', 'A Maggot', and 'The Collector'.
