A startlingly original novel about a young English graduate who takes a position as a teacher at a private school on a small Greek island. Bored and lonely he spends his free hours wandering alone until he meets a wealthy and mysterious neighbour. Soon he finds himself a victim of this man’s increasingly bizarre psychological games and obsessed with a young woman who may or may not be a willing participant in these games.

Review of 'The Magus' on 'Goodreads'

A twisty thriller even with the Classical and Shakespearean elements, and philosophy.
O brave new world, with such postmodern creatures in it
