The Magus
John Fowles
This is a quite amazing
story. It took me three attempts to finish, inspired me to write and I am
still haunted by the emotions it provoked in me.
"cras amet qui numquam amavit quique amavit cras amet"
I've written at some length about the meaning of this Latin phrase. My interpretations can be seen here but you should read the book first and then draw your own conclusions.
