LIVRE ANGLAIS JOHN FOWLES The french lieutenant's woman 1971 livre en anglais

In this brillant novel,one of the most successful and highly praised books of the decade ,jonhn fowles has evoked in perfect detail the victorian world of repressed sexuality and cruel hypocrisy.In the central figures of charles smithson and the ostracised sarah woodruff he has created two figures who,seeking to escape from the cant and tyranny of their age,achieve an epic and tragic stature.John fowles confronts corseted 19th century sensualism with 20th century existential freedom,the  result is a novel of such riches -layer after layer of characters ,plots and subplots,arresting scénes and vigorous ideas,social documents and esthetic theories,even analysis of fowles's own motives-that one wants to give or forgive him anything he asks
