Book description
Set internationally and spanning three decades,
Daniel Martin
is, among other things, an exploration of what it is to be English.
Daniel is a screenwriter working in Hollywood, who finds himself
dissatisfied with his career and with the person he has become. In a
richly evoked narrative, Daniel travels home to reconcile with a dying
friend, and also to visit his own forgotten past in an attempt to
discover himself. John Fowles won international recognition with
The Collector
, his first published title, in 1963. He was immediately acclaimed as an
outstandingly innovative writer of exceptional imaginative power. This
reputation was confirmed with the appearance of his subsequent works
including The Aristos
, The Magus
, The French Lieutenant's Woman
, The Ebony Tower
, Daniel Martin
, Mantissa
and A Maggot
. John Fowles died in 2005.
