Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Fowles launched his career with The Collector, which was welcomed with great critical enthusiasm, including that of LJ's reviewer, who found it "a distinguished first novel" (LJ 8/63). Mantissa, on the other hand, was a departure from the author's more popular material and received only a marginal response (LJ 9/1/82).

Kurzbeschreibung
An isolated and uneducated butterfly collector captures a female art student in the hope that she will come to love him. But she cannot feel anything but contempt for his cold and calculated approach to all things natural. Described as an "extraordinary }tour de force" (Guardian{), this is Fowles' first novel, originally published in 1963. It has been out of print for some years.

I took a chance on this book, having thoroughly enjoyed The Magus I felt it was a safe bet. I was amazed at how Fowles could get me to feel such compassion for Clegg inspite of himself. I truly believe he did love Miranda in the only way he knew how. It obviously was not a healthy love, more of an obsession really, but I felt sorry for him more than anything. THen you get to part two and take on Miranda's side of the equation. It was the tugging of the heart strings on both sides that made this a beautifully written novel. Fowles gives humanity to both characters and because of this makes The COllector impossible to put down. Definitely a must read.

Ich wußte nicht, was mich erwartet, als ich das Buch vor zwei Wochen anfing. An die Ich-Erzähler Perspektive musste ich mich erst gewöhnen und auch Mirandas Darstellung war manchmal nicht einfach zu lesen. Zumal es einige Wiederholungen gab, besonders was die Geschichten über G.P. angeht. Dennoch konnte ich das Buch nicht zur Seite legen und obwohl ich das Ende schon kannte, hat es mich schockiert.

John Fowles is the man responsible for the greatest novel of the twentieth century, The Magus. He hasn't published a novel in fifteen years; literature's great loss. Fowles deserves profound admiration. His skill is astounding, his command of narrative is unsurpassed. Perhaps my own favourite aspect of his fiction is the manner in which he handles sensational material in a highly artistic fashion. The Collector is a good example of this. A middle class girl is kidnapped by a working class clerk, the collector of the title, who keeps her captive in his basement. The novel is probably the most depressing work of fiction ever published, after Ian McEwan's The Child in Time. The Collector is intense, claustrophobic, frightening, finally almost unreadable. Fowles is his two characters. His skill at presenting them is matchless. And this is the problem. He's too good. The book provides no sunshine, no resolution, not even a sliver of faith in the human capacity for kindness. It is relentlessly bleak and pessimistic, but only because (paradoxically) Fowles is such a good writer. Read The Magus instead; a joyous celebration of storytelling, suspense and mystery.
