What is The Collector about?
Hailed as the first modern psychological thriller, The Collector is the internationally bestselling novel that catapulted John Fowles into the front rank of contemporary novelists. This tale of obsessive love--the story of a lonely clerk who collects butterflies and of the beautiful young art student who is his ultimate quarry--remains unparalleled in its power to startle and mesmerize. Fowles launched his career with The Collector, which was welcomed with great critical enthusiasm, including that of Library Journal's reviewer, who found it "a distinguished first novel". “Brilliant. An artist of great imaginative power.” —Sunday Times
