About This Item

467 Pages. Cloth bound cover with silver titles on spine. Cover is slightly faded at bottom of spine. Crisp bright pages. Owner's name on fly leaf. No dustjacket. Perhaps the most beloved of Fowles's internationally bestselling works, The French Lieutenant's Woman is a feat of seductive storytelling that effectively invents anew the Victorian novel. "Filled with enchanting mysteries and magically erotic possibilities" (New York Times). The novel which was made into the hugely successful 1981 film starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons is today universally regarded as a modern classic. An immensely rich and readable novel"

Synopsis

The French Lieutenant’s Woman (1969), by John Fowles, is a period novel inspired by the 1823 novel Ourika, by Claire de Duras, which Fowles translated to English during 1977 (and revised in 1994). He was a great aficionado of Thomas Hardy, and, in particular, likened his heroine, Sarah Woodruff, to Tess Durbeyfield, the protagonist of Hardy’s popular novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891).
