The Magus by John Fowles

“After all, accepting ourselves as we are, we lose hope of becoming what we should be.”

i read this book two years ago, but it’s still one of my absolute favorites.
the plot, characters, their relationships (slightly controversial) and writing style were astonishing.

At the center of The Magus is Nicholas Urfe, a young Englishman who accepts a teaching position on a remote Greek island, where he befriends a local millionaire. The friendship soon evolves into a deadly game, in which reality and fantasy are deliberately manipulated, and Nicholas finds that he must fight not only for his sanity but for his very survival.
