John Fowles expertly unfolds a tale that is lush with overpowering imagery in a spellbinding exploration of the complexities of the human mind. By turns disturbing, thrillin and seductive, The Magus is a cerebral feast.
"A major work of mounting tensions in which the human mind is the guinea-pig... Mr Fowles has taken a big swing at the difficult subject and his hits are on the bull's eye." -- Sunday Telegraph

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 imaginitive power, and this reputation was confirmed with the appearance of his subsequent works: The Aristos, The Magus, The French Lieutanant's Woman, The Ebony Tower, Daniel Martin, Mantissa and A Maggot. John Fowles lives and writes in Lyme Regis, Dorset.
‘And does she like questions?’
‘That depends on the questions.’
‘Am I ever going to be told what you really think you’re doing?’
‘You have been told.’
‘Lie upon lie.’
‘Perhaps that’s our way of telling the truth.’ But then, as if she knew she had smiled once too often, she looked down and added quickly. ‘Maurice once said to me—when I had just asked him a question rather like yours—he said, “An answer is always a form of death”.’
There was something else in her face then. It was not implacable; but in some way impermeable.
‘I think questions are a form of life.’ She said nothing, though I waited. ‘All right. I treated Alison very badly. I’m a born cad, a swine, whatever you want. But why the colossal performance just to tell one miserable moral bankrupt what he is?’
‘Have you never... (查看原文)

这本好像是福尔斯较早写出的作品，也是商业上比较成功的一部，有点模仿悬疑片的感觉（个人不太喜欢这部作品，太dramatic了。不过这也是福尔斯的特点，游走在商业通俗小说和严肃文学之边界而名利双收的作家），但其实还是讨论了“自由”的问题，已经透出后期常见的后结构倾向。监控和表演渗透进生活，到最后主人公已经分不清现实和表演的区别，怀疑自己时时被监控着了……主人公最后也意识到，自己以往也在表演孤独可怜的男... 这本好像是福尔斯较早写出的作品，也是商业上比较成功的一部，有点模仿悬疑片的感觉（个人不太喜欢这部作品，太dramatic了。不过这也是福尔斯的特点，游走在商业通俗小说和严肃文学之边界而名利双收的作家），但其实还是讨论了“自由”的问题，已经透出后期常见的后结构倾向。监控和表演渗透进生活，到最后主人公已经分不清现实和表演的区别，怀疑自己时时被监控着了……主人公最后也意识到，自己以往也在表演孤独可怜的男子形象以骗取女性好感。第65章那个《王子和巫师》的小童话特别好，巫术之外无真实，忍受虚假是成为巫师的前提；算是全书主旨的微缩版，几乎可以总结成巴特勒式的“话语之外无真实”论断。首版于查泰莱夫人审判案后的1965年，60年代书写某情节明显开放了很多 (展开)

我天，太难看了，看完简直想扔书或者狠狠的揍作者一顿，完全不知道要讲什么。这种也能评价这么高。完全没体会到里面有任何真情实意，所有的感情都很假很空泛。情节为了发展而发展，莫名其妙，毫无逻辑。人物塑造也很诡异。
