Kurzbeschreibung
Daniel Martin's (1977) eponymous protagonist returns to England after a sojourn in Hollywood -- and sets out to rectify the sins and omissions of his past.
Über den Autor
John Fowles (1926-2005) was educated at Oxford and subsequently lectured in English at universities in Greece and the UK. The success of his first novel, published in 1963, allowed him to devote all his time to writing. He spent the last decades of his life on the southern coast of England in the small harbor town of Lyme Regis.

Format:Taschenbuch
This is one of the great 20th Century English novels. The descriptions of the countryside and customs left me breathless and feeling the heat of the sun and the glimmer of the grass. Fowles gives me hope that literature has not died.
Format:Taschenbuch
John Fowles is a great writer. I consider The French Lieutenant's Woman and The Magus to be two of the best novels of the 20th Century. I've read both several times. But I just can't say the same of Daniel Martin.
It started off so well, with it's scenes from the war. But then Daniel grew up and became a painfully self-absorbed creature. Daniel may represent Fowles' picture of late 20th Century man, but it's not mine. Because his portrayal rang so false, I found the book to be merely a well written slog through the angst of the 20th century (sorry--I should be ashamed of that last phrase).
A noble effort, but false in the end. Worst of all, a lot of it is just plain boring.
I continue to hope that Fowles will write another book that will capture my heart and mind like The French Lieutenant's Woman. (Sigh!)
Format:Taschenbuch
Loved The Magus. Kept waiting for this one to take off. Save for the one chapter on his first love - about three-quarters of the way through - I found little worth hanging onto. Great observations about L.A. and the film biz. Colorful descriptions of English countryside and the Nile Delta. But, sorry, none of it worth the 600+ page plod.

An epic; a Life.
Fowles, as ever, takes us through an incredible range of human emotion and exposes the facade of all that is not real. Lesen Sie weiter...

Boring...but perhaps worth another chance
I had read French Leutenant's and the Collector, so I imagined Daniel Martin to be engrossing. I found it dated and plodding. Perhaps I didn't get far enough into it.
