Resumen:
John Fowles: A Life in Two Worlds. Celebrated and applauded as one of the most seductive storytellers of the late twentieth century, a magician of the English language, a pioneer of postmodern sensibility, and the stylistic inspiration for a generation of writers and poets, John Fowles burst from obscurity in 1963 with the spectacular debut of his first novel, The Collector. Over the next two decades, the books rolled out: The Magus, The French Lieutenant's Woman, The Aristos, and many others. This story of Fowles's life and its reflection in his work is told for the first time in this groundbreaking biography. Drawing on unprecedented access to sixty years of the writer's unedited private diaries; to searching interviews with his family, friends, and associates; to his drafts and unpublished works; to Fowles's intimate personal correspondence and a lifetime's confessional letters by his first wife, Elizabeth, Eileen Warburton provides a richly detailed, authoritative portrait of the troubled and triumphant man who became one of the twentieth century's most important writers. |
