Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Magus is the first novel John Fowles wrote, though it was his third to be published. Originally in 1965, but Fowles published a revised edition in 1977. It's notorious for its confusing and highly unpredictable plot concerning the British graduate Nicholas Urfe, who lands a teaching job at the remote Greek island Phraxos and falls victim to the psychological "Godgame" of wealthy islander Maurice Conchis.The story is said to be influenced by Fowles' own tenure as a teacher on the Greek Island Spetses.The book was adapted for film in 1968, starring Michael Caine and Anthony Quinn. While the book was received well, the film was widely critically panned. Interviews with cast and crew suggest that no one really understood what the story was about. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| The Magus / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: Or rather multilingual. There are significant bits in Greek and French, but fragments of German and Latin also pop up. If you're a bit more liberal, the Australian and Scottish accents could count as well. | |

Manipulative Bastard: Conchis. Lily/Julie and Rose/June aren't much better. It is later implied that their mother may be just as involved with the manipulation as Conchis. | |
