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.
