John Fowles’ debut novel "The Collector" is unlike any other of the author’s books, or any other work in the "psychological thriller" genre. A lonely, narrow-minded, and simply unpleasant young man unexpectedly wins a huge sum of money in the lottery. What will he do with it, especially considering his passion for collecting butterflies and his secret love for a local beauty?
In the story of the confrontation between a maniac and his victim, Fowles saw a Shakespearean "The Tempest," a battle between Good and Evil, the primitive philistine and the lofty artist, Love, Death, and Beauty.
