John Fowles won international recognition with his first published title, The Collector (1963). He was immediately acclaimed as an outstandingly innovative writer of exceptional imaginative power and this reputation was confirmed with the appearance of his subsequent works: The Aristos (1964), The Magus (1966), The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969), The Ebony Tower (1974), Daniel Martin (1977), Mantissa (1982), and A Maggot (1985). John Fowles lives and writes in Lyme Regis, Dorset.
The next best thing to a new novel from the master, this is a collection of Fowles's occasional writing dating from 1963, when his first novel, The Collector, was published, up to a rare in-depth interview in 1995. His interests and passions are many and varied, revealing his lifelong commitment to left-wing politics and his active involvement in conservation and green issues. 'Behind the Magus' explores his love of Greece; there is a long and fascinating saga entitled 'The Filming of The French Lieutenant's Woman'; and his famous essay 'On Being English But Not British'. 'The Nature of Nature', written in 1995 as Fowles approached the age of 70 after two years of illness, is an enthralling reassessment of his views of the relationship between nature, science and literature.
