Présentation de l'éditeur
Withdrawn, uneducated and unloved, Fredrick collects butterflies and takes photographs. A chance pools win enables him to capture the art student Miranda and keep her in the cellar of the Sussex house he has bought with the windfall. The situation is seen first from the collector's point of view: he thinks the chloroform pad no more vicious than his butterfly net, and patiently waits for the barriers of class and taste that inhibit their love to break down in the limbo of their isolation. She, the creator, desperate for her freedom, tries to be understanding but cannot banish her contempt for everything anti-life that the collector stands for.

Paperback. Etat : Good. The Collector (1983) by John Fowles (Triad Granada) ISBN: 9780586044261 | Condition: Good | Sold by Crappy Old Books There are love stories. There are psychological thrillers. And then there is The Collector ? a novel that quietly walks into the room, sits down, and rearranges your understanding of both. John Fowles? unsettling masterpiece is not about romance in the way greeting cards understand romance. It?s about obsession, control, loneliness, class, fantasy, entitlement ? and the alarming gap between how we see ourselves and how the world experiences us. If that sounds heavy, it is. But it?s also razor-sharp, gripping, and written with the cool precision of a man who knows exactly which nerve he?s pressing and why. The premise is deceptively simple: a socially isolated young man, who collects butterflies with meticulous devotion, decides that perhaps a person might be collected too. And from that premise unfolds one of the most unnerving dual-perspective narratives in modern fiction. Fowles doesn?t shout. He doesn?t need to. He lets the psychology do the talking ? and it talks in disturbingly reasonable tones. What makes The Collector so powerful is its structure. We see events through different eyes, and in that shift lies the novel?s quiet horror. One voice is methodical, self-justifying, almost banal in its logic. The other is intelligent, artistic, desperate to remain fully human under impossible conditions. Fowles forces the reader into the uncomfortable position of seeing how narrative can distort reality ? how someone can think they are kind, rational, even generous, while enacting something profoundly monstrous. And yet this is no lurid paperback shocker. It?s literary, controlled, deeply psychological. The tension doesn?t come from explosions; it comes from interiority. From thought patterns. From the slow suffocation of agency. It?s the kind of book that makes you put it down halfway through and stare at the wall for a bit. The 1983 Triad Granada edition is perfectly suited to the experience ? solid, portable, slightly austere. Condition is Good , meaning it has likely already done its quiet work on a previous reader and is ready to unsettle another. A faint crease here or there only adds to the atmosphere. This is not a novel that benefits from looking too pristine. Ideal for fans of psychological fiction, literary thrillers, and novels that leave you with questions rather than comfort. Also ideal for anyone who enjoys that specific John Fowles skill: the ability to make something deeply disturbing feel eerily plausible. Sold by Crappy Old Books , where even the most unsettling paperbacks deserve a second life ? preferably one that involves being read with the lights on. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 5545
