John Fowles is one of the most outstanding and deservedly popular British writers of the 20th century, a modern classic of the first caliber, the author of the worldwide bestsellers 'The Collector' and 'The Magus', 'Daniel Martin' and 'The Baby Doll'.

'The French Lieutenant's Woman' is one of Fowles's major novels. Enticing the reader with a piquant love story, combining the realistic tradition with elements of detective fiction and mysticism, Fowles plays not with fictional characters, but with real readers.

'The French Lieutenant's Woman' is a masterpiece, which was brilliantly brought to life in the film of the same name by Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons.

'There is nothing more interesting than the world of psychology of human relationships and the inner world of the person himself. And Fowles is one of those authors who knows how to tell about this in a very interesting way.' — FANTLAB
