Ebony Tower

The Ebony Tower is full of examples of Fowles' painterly look at the relationship between nature and humans, life and art. An old painter who isolated himself from the world by retreating to the French countryside accompanied by two young women, a successful writer whose manuscript of his last work was destroyed, a love story set in the Middle Ages, a lost man and a family picnic on a sunny Sunday. Fowles's imagery-laden descriptions, mysterious plots and mysterious characters are the common points of these stories. Fowles, who holds a mirror to society and us by confronting art movements, meaning and value, identity and personality, the accepted and the contrary, men and women, life and death, continues to provoke the "real us" that lies behind our choices in this novel. It can be said that Ebony Tower promises a new perspective by questioning art, history and intergenerational conflicts. However, it is the reader who will realize this promise. Because, as always, Fowles invites the reader to the privilege of creating his own perspective by giving his characters "freedom of choice" in this book. To benefit from this privilege, sit back, take a deep breath, and get ready to be pulled in another direction by every detail you capture. Enjoy the tension created by the intertwining of art and nature, reality and illusion, original and imitation, and sudden displacement of meanings...
