The Magus - John Fowles [120]
_cras amet qui numquam amavit_ _quique amavit eras amet_
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Born in Essex, England, in 1926, John Fowles was educated at Bedford School and at Oxford University. Following his studies in French at Oxford, Mr. Fowles taught in France and other places abroad before becoming a full-time writer. His first novel, _The Collector_, was an immediate bestseller--a popular as well as critical success--and he became widely recognised as a new writer of major importance. Reviewing _The Collector_ in _The New Republic_, Honour Tracy noted: "... it does look as if the new England has brought forth a novelist at last." Next came _The Aristos_, a book at the opposite end of the literary spectrum from _The Collector_--a self-portrait in ideas which further established Mr. Fowles as a writer of uncommon range and versatility. Now, with the arrival of _The Magus_, expectations for John Fowles's second novel will be abundantly fulfilled.
