The magus book john fowles6/25/2023 The Magus was the first book John Fowles wrote, although it was his third to be published, following The Collector (1963) and The Artistos (1964). A work rich in symbols, conundrums, and labyrinthine twists, The Magus endures as the most enigmatic and magical novel in the Fowles canon. As Nicholas is drawn deeper into the psychological traps, he finds it increasingly difficult to distinguish past from present, or fantasy from reality. When a young Englishman, Nicholas Urfe, accepts a teaching post on a remote Greek island and strikes up a friendship with a reclusive millionaire, he soon finds himself a pawn in the trickster’s deadly game of violence, seduction and betrayal. By turns disturbing, thrilling and seductive, the novel is a spellbinding exploration of the complexities of the human mind. Widely considered John Fowles’s masterpiece, The Magus is a masterwork of contemporary literature.
