Daniel Martin

Set internationally and spanning three decades, Daniel Martin is, among other things, an exploration of what it is to be English. Daniel is a screenwriter working in Hollywood, who finds himself dissatisfied with his career and with the person he has become. In a richly evoked narrative, Daniel travels home to reconcile with a dying friend, and also to visit his own forgotten past in an attempt to discover himself.

Reviews

  • A work of imaginative energy and passionate honesty

    The Times

  • An instant masterpiece. It is a tour de force of stamina and subtlety

    Daily Telegraph

  • A descriptive writer of great power

    Independent

  • I find it disastrous to read any of John Fowles' books - once I pick one up, I cannot put it down so everything else gets ignored!

    Daily Express

  • It is filled with beguiling dramatic set-pieces - scenes from the protagonist's Devon childhood, a romantic idyll with a neighboring farm girl, a gently satirical send-up of Hollywood hedonism, some marvelous travel-writing about Egypt and Syria... An old-fashioned novel in the sense that one can enter and live in it

John Fowles died in Lyme Regis in 2005. Two volumes of his Journals have recently been published; the first in 2003, the second in 2006.
