Recently i've finished readin "The collector" by John Fowles, because it was suppose to be better than "The magus" written by the same author.
The Collector is the story of the abduction and imprisonment of Miranda Grey by Frederick Clegg, told first from his point of view, and then from hers by means of a diary she has kept, with a return in the last few pages to Clegg's narration of her illness and death. I enjoyed reading this book, but it is no comparisson to "Magus", in wich Nicholas Urfe, an English teacher bored with his life, decides to take a position as the at the Lord Bryon School in Greece, on the island of Phraxos.
The images presented in "Magus", the action and the entire plot can induce an entire state of mind.
I enjoy reading everything i get my hands on, but i must admit that "The magus" and "Lorelei" by Ionel Teodoreanu are the only books i've read the second and the third time.
