Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. Jonathan Cape, London, UK. 1966. 617 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth with titles on spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. Previous owner has excised the lower portion of the title page. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. 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. E-063; 9.1 X 6.6 X 1.1 inches; 632 pages. N° de réf. du vendeur 58667
