I want to read 'The Magus' by John Fowles but I've discovered that I downloaded the revised edition. In his preface the author says that he made certain scenes more erotic and that he made the ending less ambiguous - neither of these changes sound very appealing to me.
Is there a significant difference between the original and revised edition to warrant downloading the original? How was the revised edition received by critics?
From what I understand the revised version makes the ending clearer and the sex scenes are more explicit. Pretty minor changes.
