The Ebony Tower, which comprises a novella, three stories, and a translation of a medieval French tale, echoes themes from Fowles's widely praised and bestselling novels as it probes the fitful relations between love and hate, pleasure and pain, fantasy and reality.
John Robert Fowles was an English novelist of international renown, critically positioned between modernism and postmodernism. His work was influenced by Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, among others.
