Sobre este item
Boston: Little Brown & Co, 1978 Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st US Edition. Nick Urfe, a young British schoolteacher, travels to the Greek island of Phraxos for a vacation. There he manages to wander into a series of misadventures and confusions that bring the stability of his world into doubt. A careless flirtation with another tourist leads to a messy affair, and a chance introduction brings him under the influence of an enigmatic, elderly recluse who stands at the center of an oddly sinister cult. The preface to this edition states : A number of scenes have been largely rewritten, and one or two new ones invented. These revisions serve to accelerate the pace of the alluring, uncanny events on the beautiful Aegean island of Phraxos, to accentuate the deviousness of the Magus, or magician, himself, Maurice Conchis, and to intensify the erotic elements of the book. 656p. .
Sinopse
This daring literary thriller, rich with eroticism and suspense, is one of John Fowles's best-loved and bestselling novels and has contributed significantly to his international reputation as a writer of the first degree. At the center of The Magus is Nicholas Urfe, a young Englishman who accepts a teaching position on a remote Greek island, where he befriends a local millionaire. The friendship soon evolves into a deadly game, in which reality and fantasy are deliberately manipulated, and Nicholas finds that he must fight not only for his sanity but for his very survival.
