Daniel Martin

London: Jonathan Cape, (1977). Sought after First UK Edition, Firsat Printing. Fine in original brown cloth lettered in gilt on spine and fine dust jacket. Signed by Fowles on title page in year of print. Fowel's fourth novel written after an eight year break from fiction, Daniel Martin is unlike any of Fowles' earlier work. With an international setting and spanning three decades, Daniel Martin follows a Hollywood screenwriter who returns to England to visit a university friend who is dying. Fowles suggests the work is intended as a defence and illustration of an unfashionable philosophy, humanism, and also as an exploration of what it is to be English. As new; an excellent copy. Large duodecimo. 704 pages.
