About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, 1977. 1st thus (revised). h/b. Very good, 1st thus edition of Revised version; clipped d/j (faded spine, in protective sleeve); black boards good, with gilt titling on spine bright; text block firm but slight forward lean; pages unmarked but slightly browned.. 8vo: crown (200 x 140 / 8"" x 5_""). On a remote Greek Island, Nicholas Urfe finds himself embroiled in the deceptions of a master trickster. As reality and illusion intertwine, Urfe is caught up in the darkest of psychological games. John Fowles expertly unfolds a tale that is lush with over-powering imagery in a spellbinding exploration of human complexities. By turns disturbing, thrilling and seductive, The Magus is a feast for the mind and the senses.
