«A Maggot» is the historical novel by John Fowles, published by Macmillan Education Australia in paperback (464 pages, in English).
In the spring of 1736, four men and a woman cross Devonshire under assumed names towards a mysterious appointment. The journey leads to a murder trial and an exploration of the conflict between reason and superstition; Fowles combines historical drama with the story of the birth of a new faith.
The novel was originally published in 1985 and the cover mentions «The French Lieutenant's Woman», the earlier work for which Fowles was already known.
Recommended for readers of historical and literary fiction who appreciate tension, mystery and narrative games set in the eighteenth century.
John Robert Fowles was an English novelist, critically positioned between modernism and postmodernism. His work was influenced by Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, among others.
