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.

A deliciously toothsome celebration of wanton story-telling ― Sunday Times

A splendidly sustained piece of mystification ― Financial Times

One of those that's best read as a teenager, but once read you'll never forget it -- Katy Guest ― Independent

Suspend disbelief and enjoy a master storyteller -- Christie Hickman ― Sunday Express
