More than a decade after his death in 2005, this collection of essays celebrates the memory of John Fowles, one of the champions of early postmodernist literature in England. As the first publication of the German John Fowles Society, founded in 2015, the book brings together a collector, a translator and a handful of scholars who pay tribute to one of the most important voices in English fiction after World War II. Their contributions, which address The Magus, The French Lieutenant's Woman, The Ebony Tower, Daniel Martin and the unpublished Tesserae, bear testimony to Fowles's lasting fascination. Mehr als ein Jahrzehnt nach seinem Tod im Jahr 2005 erfährt die Erinnerung an John Fowles, einen der wenigen frühen englischen Vertreter einer postmodernistischen Poetik, durch diese Aufsatzsammlung neue Impulse. Die Beiträge in diesem Band, der ersten Veröffentlichung der 2015 gegründeten Deutschen John-Fowles-Gesellschaft, behandeln einige seiner wichtigsten Texte ( Der Magus, Die Geliebte des französischen Leutnants, Der Ebenholzturm, Daniel Martin sowie die unveröffentlichten Mosaiksteine) aus der Perspektive eines Sammlers, eines Übersetzers und einer Handvoll Literaturwissenschaftler und zollen der andauernden Faszination seiner Texte Tribut.
