1965 The Aristos a Self-Portrait in Ideas
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first impression, with no subsequent impressions listed.
In the original publisher's unclipped dust wrapper.
A collection of several hundred philosophical aphorisms by John Fowles, with a total of 1,405 short insightful pieces.
Fowles describes 'The Aristos' as a self-portrait of himself through his ideas, a literary statement of his reaction to the situation he existed in.
In form this work is modelled on the 'Pensees' of Pascal, with some concepts of Heraclitus, and the spirit of Montaigne.
This was the second published work by Fowles, following from his hugely successful novel 'The Collector'.
