Christopher Lehmann-Haupt in The New York Times hailed him as a remarkable novelist, and the novelist John Gardner described him as the only writer in English who has the power, range, knowledge, and wisdom of a Tolstoy. Four of his works have been adapted for film, including the Academy Award-nominated The French Lieutenant's Woman. Despite his immense critical and popular success, only now has Fowles found the capable biographer he has long deserved. In John Fowles: A Life in Two Worlds, Eileen Warburton provides a richly detailed portrait that emphasizes his emergence as one the twentieth century's most important writers. She chronicles his prewar childhood in a London commuter town and in wartime rural England, his Oxford education, and his apprentice years in Europe and London. From a lifetime of intimate correspondence, she narrates Fowles's thirty-seven-year love affair with the wife who inspired his most memorable women characters. And she follows the astonishing trajectory of Fowles's long writing careerfrom his spectacular debut novel, The Collector (1963), to the haunting The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969), through his later fiction, poems, essays, and translations. 54606 30 3 2004 John Fowles: A Life in Two Worlds total:2|5:1|4:1| 2 9 8 0 0 0 false false Tue Sep 08 14:07:11 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 14:07:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 20 16:10:20 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 16:10:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 09 19:22:41 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 19:22:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 10 09:16:33 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 09:16:33 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Mar 01 16:32:47 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 16:32:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 14 04:12:22 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 04:12:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Feb 10 15:07:01 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 10 15:07:08 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sat Jun 16 00:39:29 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 16 00:39:29 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=56028
