An extraordinary work of fiction, from one of the world's most exceptional writers. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JULIAN FELLOWES After graduating from Oxford, Daniel Martin moved to America and successfully pursued the dreams of many: he became a Hollywood screenwriter. But, as the years go by, Daniel grows more and more unsatisfied with the life he once coveted and the person he has become. Now Daniel has been called back to England to reconcile with a dying friend, but finds that he must also reconcile with the past and with himself. 'I find it disastrous to read any of John Fowles' books - once I pick one up, I cannot put it down so everything else gets ignored!' Judi Dench, Daily Express 'An instant masterpiece. It is a tour de force of stamina and subtlety' Daily Telegraph
Spanning three decades and many different countries, 'Daniel Martin' is the account of a contemporary Englishman's attempt to see himself and his time in the mirrors of his past and his present.
This cutting-edge volume offers a theoretical and applied introduction to the emerging legal technology and informatics industry.
En midaldrende, engelsk manuskriptforfatter, Daniel Martin, er blevet berømt i Hollywood, hvor han danner par med en ung skuespillerinde. En dag bliver han ringet op af sin ekshustru, der fortæller, at hans ungdomsven ligger for døden og gerne vil se ham. Gensynet med vennen betyder også et gensyn med dennes hustru, der samtidig er ekshustruens søster, som Daniel har haft en affære med for mange år siden. Tiltrækningen imellem dem viser sig at være der endnu, og efter vennens død rejser de sammen til Egypten. Af forfatteren til bla. Den franske løjtnants kvinde (1976). "Nu har vi omsider fået den. John Fowles' stort anlagte, mesterlige og problematiske roman om de udødeligt elskende i en gennempolitiseret tid ... Niels Brunse har præsteret en aldeles suveræn fordanskning." - Weekendavisen.

The inspiration for this new body of work comes from the mysteries of consciousness, self-aware systems, philosophy, cellular automata, phase transitions, time travel and mystical behaviours at atomic and sub-atomic levels. He was inspired to use the simplicity of drawing to create his own interpretations of the concepts of consciousness and other theories on a scientific, philosophical and spiritual level.

He loves New Testament stories and the surreal visions they conjure; in this local 19th century mission, he was moved by the crude, darkened old Mexican religious paintings, a hybrid of European and vernacular Mexican art.

Beginning in the 1960s with The Housemaid, it traces a path through the history of Korean horror, offering new interpretations of classic films, demarcating the shifting patterns of production and consumption across the decades, and introducing readers to films rarely seen and discussed outside of Korea.
