Recommended by Liv
Nicholas Urfe - tired of London, life and love - assumes a teaching position at The Lord Byron School on the fictional Greek Island of Phraxos. As Urfe befriends the island recluse, his desired escape from life turns into something far more sinister. The Magus is an uncanny, sordid page-turner and - in my opinion - an absolute masterpiece.
From the publisher
Read John Fowles's feisty, clever, cunning and compelling novel with an unusual twist.
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.
