The Collector

Like other equally well-known novels by Fowles, his debut "The Collector" is neither similar to his "brothers" (belonging to the pen of the great "sorcerer"), nor to other works in the genre of "psychological detective." A lonely, dim-witted, and simply unpleasant young man unexpectedly wins a huge sum of money in the lottery. What will he do with it, especially considering his passion for collecting butterflies and his secret love for the local beauty? In the story of the confrontation between a maniac and his victim, Fowles saw the Shakespearian "Tempest," the struggle between Good and Evil, the primitive man and the sublime artist, Love, Death, and Beauty.
