A cynical young Englishman teaches on a remote Greek island, where a wealthy recluse draws him into a game of illusions and staged seductions meant to break his self-deceit, then sends him home unsure whether he is cured or only used.

Not the hammer and sickle. Not the stars and stripes. Not the cross. Not the sun. Not gold. Not yin and yang. But the smile.
The Magus, John Fowles
