The Tree (Paperback, New edition)

In this series of moving recollections involving both his childhood an d his work as a mature artist, John Fowles explains the impact of natu re on his life and the dangers inherent in our traditional urge to cat egorise, to tame and ultimately to possess the landscape. This acquisi tive drive leads to alienation and an antagonism to the apparent disor der and randomness of the natural world. For John Fowles the tree is t he best analogue of prose fiction, symbolising the wild side of our ps yche, and he stresses the importance in art of the unpredictable, the unaccountable and the intuitive. This fascinating text gives a unique insight into the author and offer s the key to a true understanding of the inspiration for his work.
