Like other equally famous novels by Fowles, his debut "The Collector" is not like its "brothers" (written by the great "magician"), nor like other works of the "psychological detective" genre. A lonely, narrow-minded and simply unpleasant young man unexpectedly wins a huge sum of money in a lottery. What will he do with it, especially considering his passion for collecting butterflies and his secret love for a local beauty?
In the story of the confrontation between the maniac and his victim, Fowles saw Shakespeare's "The Tempest", the confrontation between Good and Evil, the primitive man in the street and the sublime artist, Love, Death and Beauty.
