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 Magus" and "The Ebony Tower", "Daniel Martin" and "The French Lieutenant's Woman".
"The Doll" is one of the author's last major works, his creative testament. The novel is published in full: fragments of the newsreel section of the London monthly "Gentleman's Magazine" have been translated and woven into the novel's fabric, which not only add up to a picturesque panorama of the era, but also contain the key to a possible solution to what is happening.
And what is happening in the novel is mysterious to the extreme. The landscapes of old England, a detective plot with elements of mysticism, cunning intrigues and mysterious events serve Fowles as a magnificent background for a deep psychological study of the relativity of knowledge and truth, the boundaries of human freedom, and the historical roots of modern civilization.
