John Fowles is a writer who became a classic in his lifetime. In his youth, he taught English on the Greek island of Spetses. It was there that the plot of the hoax novel "Playing God" was born, which went down in the history of world literature under the name "The Magus".
The young teacher Nicholas Erfe flees from the grayness of life and dangerous love to the island of Fraxos in Greece. There he falls under the influence of the mysterious millionaire Maurice Conchis. The "Magician" starts the show. The ghost of his dead bride comes out for dinner. A satyr rushes past, chasing a nymph... Nicholas Erfe, like Orpheus, must descend into Hell, overcome temptations and save his Eurydice.
The boundaries between actors and spectators, the stage and reality are erased. What is this? A performance, a psychological experience or sophisticated torture? The whole truth will be revealed to the one who reaches the very end.
Each book in the series is a literary pearl.
The cover design is inspired by the styles of "quiet luxury" and "old money". The minimalist series "Pearl. Classics of Quiet Luxury" is created as an elegant addition to the iconic images of Princess Diana and Jacqueline Kennedy. These books can complete the stylish image of a successful girl, and also become part of the interior of an apartment, restaurant, hotel and other spaces.
Thanks to the metallized paper, the cover creates a glowing effect. The colors shimmer softly and quietly. On the spine, the book symbol is embossed in silver, which enhances the effect of internal light. Volumetric embossing of figures creates a pleasant tactile sensation.
The text is printed on white paper, soft to the touch. A large and convenient font has been selected for the series, which will not tire the eyes.
