À propos de cet audio

John Fowles’ The Magus was a literary landmark of the 1960s. Nicholas Urfe goes to a Greek island to teach at a private school and becomes enmeshed in curious happenings at the home of a mysterious Greek recluse, Maurice Conchis. Are these events, involving attractive young English sisters, just psychological games, or an elaborate joke, or more? Reality shifts as the story unfolds.

The Magus reflected the issues of the 1960s perfectly, but even almost half a century after its first publication, it continues to create tension and concern, remaining the page-turner that it was when it was first released.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Revisiting this novel after 30 years, and am amazed at how well it has aged. Surprisingly reflective of our time, from the rise of populism to the era of incels, and especially everything Brexit. Absolutely stellar narration.

A Fantastic Interpretation

I am dying of boredom and I have another 13 hours to go. Do I buck up and endure it to the end or is life too short to bother?
Where is the greatness of this book? I can’t seem to find anything enrapturing about it. It’s certainly can’t hold a candle to David Copperfield nor Of Human Bondage nor even The Catcher in the Rye as far as being a “finding one’s self” kind of book. Oh, groan! I will probably endure and maybe my review will change.
