John Fowles' debut novel, a chilling and masterful study of obsession. The story follows Frederick Clegg, a lonely clerk who wins the football pools and uses the money to kidnap Miranda Grey, an art student he has long admired from afar. Told in two parts—first from Clegg’s detached, rationalizing perspective and then through Miranda’s diary—the novel is a profound examination of the conflict between the "Few" and the "Many."
