The Collector

New

.«The Collector» — the first of the published novels by John Fowles, which marked the beginning of his success in literature. This is a psychological thriller that reinterprets many narratives: from the myth of Hades and Persephone to «The Tempest»... by Shakespeare.

Frederick, a modest and shy clerk, watches over the beautiful student Miranda. He is not just in love with her – he is obsessed. Almost as much as he is obsessed with his butterfly collection. Miranda is a rare specimen, a coveted prize. And then fate smiles upon the collector. He wins a lot of money betting on horse races, buys a van, and a house in the wilderness with a large basement…

Fowles narrates from the perspective of the kidnapper and the victim, playing with the readers' emotions. He confronts Good and Evil, the beautiful and the worthless, the sublime and the base. What will prevail, and what will remain in eternity?
