Price: US$11.09 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: 460 Seiten. 20,4 cm. Lesetipp des Bukinisten. Guter Zustand. ,In this magnificent and compelling novel, bestselling author John Fowles has created a dazzlingly erotic tale of obsession and desire, madness and murder. Four men and one woman, all traveling under assumed names, are crossing the Devonshire countryside on their way toward a mysterious rendezvous in the spring of 1736. But nothing is as it seems. Before their violent and enigmatic journey ends, one will be hanged, one will vanish, and the others will face a murder trial. A haunting book about the very nature of truth and lies and of the conflict between reason and superstition, A Maggot is at once a rousing detective story and a glimpse from the eighteenth century into the future. - - John Robert Fowles (* 31. März 1926 in Leigh-on-Sea bei London; 5. November 2005 in Lyme Regis) war ein britischen Romanautor. John Fowles studierte Sprachen an der Universität Oxford und arbeitete eine Zeit lang als Lehrer, bevor er sich ab 1964 als Autor ausschließlich dem Schreiben widmete. Fowles Romane und Erzählungen bestechen durch eine virtuose Beherrschung der Sprache. Seine erfolgreichsten Romane Die Geliebte des französischen Leutnants" und Daniel Martin" kommen auf den ersten Blick als (zeit)historische Erzählungen daher, bergen darunter aber eine Vielzahl von historischen und gesellschaftskritischen Einsichten und lassen sich auch als Zustandsbeschreibungen der condition humaine im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert lesen. Gleiches gilt für die oberflächlich als Kriminalgeschichten angelegten Romane Die Grille" und Der Sammler", in denen die Anomie-Problematik und die prinzipielle Abgründigkeit menschlichen Handelns thematisiert werden. In Mantissa" bietet Fowles in dem fiktiven Dialog mit einer der klassischen Musen Einblicke in seine Poetik. Der Magus" lange Zeit als sein Hauptwerk betrachtet stellt die Themen Freiheit und Willensfreiheit in den Mittelpunkt und fragt nach der Möglichkeit von Erkenntnis an sich. Alle Romane von Fowles sind gekennzeichnet durch den tiefen Zweifel an der wahrgenommenen Realität, wie er auch im philosophischen Konstruktivismus gepflegt wird. John Fowles lebte in Lyme Regis in Dorset, wo er den Folgen seines Krebsleidens erlag. .

Description: A first edition copy of the sixth major novel of successful postmodernist author John Fowles. The first edition of this work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original dust wrapper, clipped and re-priced by the publisher. A Maggot (1985) is a postmodern novel by British author John Fowles. Its title, as the author explains in the prologue, is taken from the archaic sense of the word that means "whim", "quirk", "obsession", or even a snatch of music. Another meaning of the word "maggot" becomes apparent later in the novel, used by a character to describe a white, oblong machine that appears to be a spacecraft. In publisher's original cloth binding, with original dust wrapper, clipped and re-priced by the publisher. Externally, cloth is in excellent condition. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean. Dust wrapper is smart and bright. Fine

Description: A Maggot is not a historical novel in the hormal sense. It began as a quirk or obsession (a maggot' in the archaic sense of the word) which found its setting in the second wave of Protestant Dissent in England. It took shape as a mystery - a compelling investigation of unaccountable motives and deeds - which led through beguiling paths to a startling vision at its centre, and an elision into real history. Those who have read The Magus or The French Lieutenant's Woman have had a foretaste of the exquisite narrative delights which await them in this magnificent new novel - as tantalizing and powerful as any John Fowles has ever written. ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
