Description: THE COLLECTORBy John FowlesLittle, Brown and Company, Boston, MA, 1963, First American Edition Book CLub Hardcover, very good condition, dust jacket is good, one inch tear at top of spineThe Collector is a 1963 thriller novel by English author John Fowles, in his literary debut. Its plot follows a lonely young man who kidnaps a female art student in London and holds her captive in the cellar of his rural farmhouse. Divided in two sections, the novel contains both the perspective of the captor, Frederick, and that of Miranda, the captive. The portion of the novel told from Miranda's perspective is presented in epistolary form. Rarely does a publisher introduce a novel of such devastating power. We invite you to open to the first page of The Collector. We believe you will be compelled to read on.He tells the story first - Frederick Clegg, an obscure little clerk and a collector of butterflies who one day goes on to net his finest specimen, Miss Miranda Grey, a soft, lovely twenty-year-old. A remarkable feat of imagination, The Collector is a novel of disquieting perception whose cumulative effect is all too memorable.USPS Media Rate postage will be calculated @ 2 pounds weightGRADUATE OF BOOK SEMINARS INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM HOW IT WORKS WITH US:In other words; the fine print!For those buyers who reside outside the U.S.,We are now enrolled in eBay's Global Shipping ProgramWe like to have our auctions completed in a timely manner.If we have not HEARD FROM the high bidder by the FOURTH day after the close of the auction, we will file an UNPAID ITEM DISPUTE with Ebay.PLEASE: Bid Only If You Intend To Complete The Transaction.THANKS for your understanding in these matters.We are proud to let you know that we try to be ecologically responsible, nearly all of our packing materials are recycled or reused.
