| Abstract | "John Fowles wrote five compelling stories later made into motion pictures. This book examines the film and video adaptations of these stories, and Fowles's role in adapting his literary genius to visual media. It gives deserved recognition to Fowles as a contributor to cinema, a medium he both loved and distrusted, where his stories acquired vivid alternative lives"-- Provided by publisher. |
