The Magus (novel)
''The Magus'' (1965) is a postmodern novel by British author John Fowles, telling the story of Nicholas Urfe, a young British graduate who is teaching English on a small Greek island. Urfe becomes embroiled in the psychological illusions of a master trickster, which become increasingly dark and serious. Considered a metafiction, it was the first novel written by Fowles, but the third he published. In 1977 he published a revised edition.
In 1999 ''The Magus'' was ranked on both lists of Modern Library 100 Best Novels, reaching number 93 on the editors' list, and 71 on the readers' list.〔( "100 Best Novels" ). Modern Library. Retrieved 28 October 2012〕 In 2003, the novel was listed at number 67 on the BBC's survey ''The Big Read.''〔("BBC – The Big Read" ). BBC. April 2003, Retrieved 26 October 2012〕
==Background==
''The Magus'' was the first novel John Fowles wrote, but his third to be published after ''The Collector'' (1963) and ''The Aristos'' (1964). He started writing it in the 1950s, under the original title of ''The Godgame''. He based it partly on his experiences on the Greek island of Spetses, where he taught English for two years at the Anargyrios School.〔John Ezard, ("Obituary: John Fowles" ), ''The Guardian'', 8 November 2005〕〔http://books.google.com/books?id=csxV2sfcNJAC&lpg=PA51&pg=PA51〕 He worked on it for twelve years before its publication in 1965. Despite gaining critical and commercial success, he continued to rework it, publishing a final revision in 1977.
