Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Stated First American Edition. Orange cloth. Richly decorated dust jacket. 8vo. 305 pages. Near fine. Boards show no obvious wear. Pages are clean and very tight, like new. DJ would be near fine as it has no obvious edgewear but does have a waterstain on the back cover and a small scrape on the front cover, so is Good Minus. John Robert Fowles (1926 - 2005) was an English novelist of international stature, critically positioned between modernism and postmodernism. His work reflects the influence of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, among others.

Book First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Fifth Impression or later. Size: Small Octavo. 283 pages. Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Pages lightly tanned throughout. Edges browned slightly. A fine unread copy. This book is available and ready to be shipped. Withdrawn, uneducated and unloved, Frederick collects butterflies and takes photographs. A chance pools win enables him to capture the art student Miranda and keep her in the cellar of the Sussex house he has bought with the windfall. The situation is seen first from the collectors point of view- he thinks the chloroform pad no more vicious than his butterfly net, and patiently waits for the barriers of class and taste that inhibit their love to break down in the limbo of their isolation. She, the creator, desperate for her freedom, tries to be understanding but cannot banish her comtempt for everything anti-life that the collector stands for. Quantity Available: 1.
