Publishers Description: As part of Back Bays ongoing effort to make the works of John Fowles available in uniform trade paperback editions, two major works in the Fowles canon are reissued to coincide with the publication of Wormholes, the authors long-awaited new collection of essays and occasional writings.Perhaps the most beloved of Fowless internationally bestselling works, The French Lieutenants Woman is a feat of seductive storytelling that effectively invents anew the Victorian novel. Filled with enchanting mysteries and magically erotic possibilities (New York Times), the novel inspired the hugely successful 1981 film starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons and is today universally regarded as a modern classic.In A Maggot, originally published in 1985, Fowles reaches back to the eighteenth century to offer readers a glimpse into the future. Time magazine called the result hypnotic....A remarkable achievement. Part detective story, part crackling courtroom drama....An immensely rich and readable novel.
