The French Lieutenant's Woman

John Fowles is one of the most outstanding and justly popular British writers of the 20th century, a contemporary classic of the highest caliber, author of worldwide bestsellers The Collector and The Magus, Daniel Martin and The Twig. The French Lieutenant's Woman is one of Fowles' main novels. Captivating the reader with a spicy love plot, combining realistic tradition with elements of detective and mysticism, Fowles plays not with fictional characters, but with real readers. The French Lieutenant's Woman is a masterpiece that, in its time, was brilliantly embodied in the film of the same name by Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons.
