{"product_id":"filming-john-fowles","title":"Filming John Fowles","description":"\u003cp\u003e   John Fowles wrote five compelling stories later made into motion pictures. This book examines for the first time the film and video adaptations of these stories, as well as Fowles's role in adapting his literary genius to visual media. Besides his authorship of the screenplay for \u003ci\u003eThe Magus\u003c\/i\u003e (1968), Fowles was an uncredited contributor to \u003ci\u003eThe Collector\u003c\/i\u003e (1965) and \u003ci\u003eThe French Lieutenant's Woman\u003c\/i\u003e (1971), and to the British television adaptations \u003ci\u003eThe Ebony Tower\u003c\/i\u003e  and \u003ci\u003eThe Enigma\u003c\/i\u003e. His unpublished short story \"The Last Chapter\" was adapted as a theatrical short film satirizing the James Bond novels. Few are aware that the 1997 thriller \u003ci\u003eThe Game\u003c\/i\u003e was a brilliant adaptation of \u003ci\u003eThe Magus\u003c\/i\u003e, or that Fowles himself acted out scenes from that novel for a Greek television documentary. This book gives deserved recognition to John Fowles as a contributor to cinema, a medium he both loved and distrusted, where his stories acquired vivid alternative lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54254742831448,"sku":"9780786497645","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780786497645_ab12b021-55da-47c8-bda3-85f199245c5a.jpg?v=1764988244","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/filming-john-fowles","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
