Wizard

Oxford graduate Nicholas Urfe, who is going through the semi-intellectual depression of his age, goes to a remote Greek island as an English teacher to escape the gloom and love of England. At a time when she is having troubled days alone and her dreams of becoming a poet are dashed, she meets the mysterious millionaire Conchis... The wizard is like a metaphysical entertainment train wandering through the labyrinths of the human mind. In these labyrinths, the gray zone between reality and delusion is violated by our hero. As a result of frightening events, love and betrayal that develop one after another, Urfe becomes suspicious of everything, especially her own sanity.

In the story, in which various references are made to mythological elements and Shakespeare's famous play The Tempest, John Fowles examines the brutality of war, the serenity of a Mediterranean island, the complex structure of the human mind, the nature of the male-female relationship, and the concepts of God and freedom with his masterful narration. . Based on the assertion that true freedom is only possible by knowing yourself, the relationships between dreams and real experiences are strikingly staged by Fowles' Prospero, Conchis, with a series of illusions, masks and shows. In The Sorcerer, the threat facing humanity is hidden within the walls of Western culture as well as within the walls of man's own consciousness. This is a journey to a new level of consciousness that can be reached through the efforts of individuals, like Urfe, who discover that they have the freedom to stay away from the behavioral patterns imposed by the social structures of the culture in which they were born.

The Sorcerer, which is on Random House's list of the hundred best works written in the English language in the 20th century, is a literary feast about the difficulties of achieving personal freedom and discovering oneself...

"But the Marquis is also "The novel of an enigma woven with magnificent tension, designed by a team consisting of Sade, Arthur Edward Waite, Sir James Frazer, Gurdjieff, Madame Blavatski, CG Jung, Aleister Crowlley and Franz Kafka."
