Descripción

Nick Urfe, a young British schoolteacher, travels to the Greek island of Phraxos for a vacation. There he manages to wander into a series of misadventures and confusions that bring the stability of his world into doubt. A careless flirtation with another tourist leads to a messy affair, and a chance introduction brings him under the influence of an enigmatic, elderly recluse who stands at the center of an oddly sinister cult. The preface to this edition states : A number of scenes have been largely rewritten, and one or two new ones invented. These revisions serve to accelerate the pace of the alluring, uncanny events on the beautiful Aegean island of Phraxos, to accentuate the deviousness of the Magus, or magician, himself, Maurice Conchis, and to intensify the erotic elements of the book. 656p.
