Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Collector (1983) by John Fowles (Triad Granada) ISBN: 9780586044261 | Condition: Good | Sold by Crappy Old Books There are love stories. There are psychological thrillers. And then there is The Collector ? a novel that quietly walks into the room, sits down, and rearranges your understanding of both. John Fowles? unsettling masterpiece is not about romance in the way greeting cards understand romance. It?s about obsession, control, loneliness, class, fantasy, entitlement ? and the alarming gap between how we see ourselves and how the world experiences us. If that sounds heavy, it is. But it?s also razor-sharp, gripping, and written with the cool precision of a man who knows exactly which nerve he?s pressing and why. The premise is deceptively simple: a socially isolated young man, who collects butterflies with meticulous devotion, decides that perhaps a person might be collected too. And from that premise unfolds one of the most unnerving dual-perspective narratives in modern fiction. Fowles doesn?t shout. He doesn?t need to. He lets the psychology do the talking ? and it talks in disturbingly reasonable tones. What makes The Collector so powerful is its structure. We see events through different eyes, and in that shift lies the novel?s quiet horror. One voice is methodical, self-justifying, almost banal in its logic. The other is intelligent, artistic, desperate to remain fully human under impossible conditions. Fowles forces the reader into the uncomfortable position of seeing how narrative can distort reality ? how someone can think they are kind, rational, even generous, while enacting something profoundly monstrous. And yet this is no lurid paperback shocker. It?s literary, controlled, deeply psychological. The tension doesn?t come from explosions; it comes from interiority. From thought patterns. From the slow suffocation of agency. It?s the kind of book that makes you put it down halfway through and stare at the wall for a bit. The 1983 Triad Granada edition is perfectly suited to the experience ? solid, portable, slightly austere. Condition is Good , meaning it has likely already done its quiet work on a previous reader and is ready to unsettle another. A faint crease here or there only adds to the atmosphere. This is not a novel that benefits from looking too pristine. Ideal for fans of psychological fiction, literary thrillers, and novels that leave you with questions rather than comfort. Also ideal for anyone who enjoys that specific John Fowles skill: the ability to make something deeply disturbing feel eerily plausible. Sold by Crappy Old Books , where even the most unsettling paperbacks deserve a second life ? preferably one that involves being read with the lights on. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE.

From the author of THE MAGUS, a novel first published by Jonathan Cape in 1963. A withdrawn, unloved butterfly collector wins a fortune on the football pools, and this enables him to abduct a young art student and keep her in the cellar of his newly-bought home. She tries to understand her captor but becomes repulsed by his mentality. - An isolated and uneducated butterfly collector captures a female art student in the hope that she will come to love him. But she cannot feel anything but contempt for his cold and calculated approach to all things natural. Described as an "extraordinary }tour de force" (Guardian{), this is Fowles' first novel, originally published in 1963. - John Robert Fowles (* 31. März 1926 in Leigh-on-Sea bei London; 5. November 2005 in Lyme Regis) war ein britischen Romanautor. John Fowles studierte Sprachen an der Universität Oxford und arbeitete eine Zeit lang als Lehrer, bevor er sich ab 1964 als Autor ausschließlich dem Schreiben widmete. Fowles Romane und Erzählungen bestechen durch eine virtuose Beherrschung der Sprache. Seine erfolgreichsten Romane Die Geliebte des französischen Leutnants und Daniel Martin kommen auf den ersten Blick als (zeit)historische Erzählungen daher, bergen darunter aber eine Vielzahl von historischen und gesellschaftskritischen Einsichten und lassen sich auch als Zustandsbeschreibungen der condition humaine im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert lesen. Gleiches gilt für die oberflächlich als Kriminalgeschichten angelegten Romane Die Grille und Der Sammler, in denen die Anomie-Problematik und die prinzipielle Abgründigkeit menschlichen Handelns thematisiert werden. In Mantissa bietet Fowles in dem fiktiven Dialog mit einer der klassischen Musen Einblicke in seine Poetik. Der Magus lange Zeit als sein Hauptwerk betrachtet stellt die Themen Freiheit und Willensfreiheit in den Mittelpunkt und fragt nach der Möglichkeit von Erkenntnis an sich. Alle Romane von Fowles sind gekennzeichnet durch den tiefen Zweifel an der wahrgenommenen Realität, wie er auch im philosophischen Konstruktivismus gepflegt wird. John Fowles lebte in Lyme Regis in Dorset, wo er den Folgen seines Krebsleidens erlag. . Aus: wikipedia-John_Fowles Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 300 17,5 cm. Taschenbuch. Kartoniert.
