Book by Fowles John

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

As part of Back Bay's ongoing effort to make the works of John Fowles available in uniform trade paperback editions, two major works in the Fowles canon are reissued to coincide with the publication of Wormholes, the author's long-awaited new collection of essays and occasional writings.

Perhaps the most beloved of Fowles's internationally bestselling works, The French Lieutenant's Woman is a feat of seductive storytelling that effectively invents anew the Victorian novel. "Filled with enchanting mysteries and magically erotic possibilities" (New York Times), the novel inspired the hugely successful 1981 film starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons and is today universally regarded as a modern classic.

In A Maggot, originally published in 1985, Fowles reaches back to the eighteenth century to offer readers a glimpse into the future. Time magazine called the result "hypnotic....A remarkable achievement. Part detective story, part crackling courtroom drama....An immensely rich and readable novel".

Revue de presse :

"A brilliant success... It is a passionate piece of writing as well as an immaculate example of storytelling" (Financial Times)

"Compulsively readable" (Irish Times)

"A splendid, lucid, profoundly satisfying work of art, a book which I want almost immediately to read again" (New Statesman)

"Brilliant...an artist of great imaginative power" (Sunday Times)

"Marvellous 1969 novel... You can read this book again and again, always finding something new and always falling in love with the hapless Charles." (Val Hennessy Daily Mail)
