The Magus
内容简介
"An astonishing achievement" -- Anthony Burgess
On a remote Greek Island, Nicholas Urfe finds himself embroiled in the deceptions of a master trickster. As reality and illusion interwine, Urfe is caught up in the darkest of psychological games...
John Fowles expertly unfolds a tale that is lush with overpowering imagery in a spellbinding exploration of the complexities of the human mind. By turns disturbing, thrillin and seductive, The Magus is a cerebral feast.
"A major work of mounting tensions in which the human mind is the guinea-pig... Mr Fowles has taken a big swing at the difficult subject and his hits are on the bull's eye." -- Sunday Telegraph
