Sinopsis
Iris Murdoch was an Irish-born British author and philosopher who won the Man Booker prize in 1978 for her famous novel, The Sea, The Sea. The book is written in the form of a journal, kept by Charles Arrowby, an actor turned director who has retired to a secluded abandoned house by the edges of the sea. At the heart of the novel is Arrowby’s obsession with his first love, Mary Hartley Fitch, whom he has not seen since they were adolescents. He becomes possessed by her once again, and attempts to persuade her to elope with him, although she is married and has a son with her husband. Arrowby’s memoir evolves into a compelling record of the odd events and of the unexpected visitors that unsettle his world. The novel explores theories of misplaced, misguided love while revealing a complex story of a remarkable exploration of life.
