The Magus British literature But this time the hammer

But this time the hammer isn't just lost

hiding away when a boat arrives

Within months she was the most celebrated woman in the city

and the later luxuries of well-maintained roads

The Magus British literature But this time the hammerOn 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.
