De klok
Met The Bell (1958) vestigde Iris Murdoch definitief haar naam als een van de beste Engelstalige schrijvers. De roman over een groep mensen die – ver van de drukke wereld – tot rust wil komen in de religieuze gemeenschap Imber Court is tegelijk geestig en serieus. Murdoch combineert in deze roman een uiterst ingenieuze plot met een scherpe blik op de menselijke geest. Centraal in dit verhaal staan Dora, die haar man heeft verlaten, en Michael, de geestelijk leider van Imber Court. Hij is homoseksueel en wordt onmiddellijk verliefd op de jonge student Toby, die een paar maanden op Imber Court komt werken voor hij naar de universiteit gaat. Murdoch schrijft met veel compassie over Michael en zijn verliefdheid. The Bell verscheen in 1961 in een vertaling van Hella S. Haasse als De klok. Dit derde deel van de Regenboogreeks bevat een nawoord van Murdoch-kenner Doeke Sijens.

The Sea, the Sea
Booker Prize WinnerWinner of the Booker Prize "Profound and delicious for many reasons . . . A multilayered working out of her feelings about the intensity of romantic experience . . . [It] also happens to be intelligently and sympathetically concerned with four of my favorite things: swimming, eating, drinking and talking. . . . It is an ideal beach book—especially if you enjoy the cooler and pebblier and spookier northern sort of beach." —Dwight Garner, The New York Times "A powerful novel about the dismantling of ego, the truth of love—I’m in awe of Murdoch’s genius." —Kate Christensen, The New York Times Book Review"A joy to read: a rollicking story that seems endlessly to be building towards some awful, hilarious, frightening conclusion." —Harper’s Bazaar"Sublime [and] profound . . . She takes great care to imbue the house, the sea, the surroundings—everything—with depth and significance. . . . Exhilarating." —Sam Jordison, The Guardian"This comedy is lit with the aplomb of true comedy’s calm understanding of moral obliquity. . . . There is the genuine weight of obsession in Arrowby’s narrative, but also the mere weight of iteration and ingenuity." —Martin Greenberg, The New York Times Book Review "Murdoch's subtly, blackly humorous digs at human vanity and self-delusion periodically build into waves of hilarity, and Arrowby is a brilliant creation: a deeply textured, intriguing yet unreliable narrator, and one of the finest character studies of the 20th century." —Sophia Martelli, The Guardian"The author renders her immorality play with painstaking attention to atmosphere: the changing hues of the waves, the slippery amber rocks, the strangely damp house are all made palpable. The old scandals are shrewdly reexamined, and Murdoch's style is as saline as the sea below." —Time"One of the best and most influential writers of the 20th century . . . She connected goodness, against the temper of the times, not with the quest for an authentic identity so much as with the happiness that can come about when that quest can be relaxed." —Peter Conradi, The Guardian

Under the Net
"Murdoch, a philosophy don at Oxford, was that rarity, a philosophical novelist who could create real characters, not premises with names attached . . . Right out of the gate she displayed all her sinuous gifts—her questing mind, her comic skepticism, her wildly entangled plots." —Time, "All-Time 100 Novels" "Under the Net announces the emergence of a brilliant talent." —The Times Literary Supplement"Of all the novelists that have made their bow since the war she seems to me to be the most remarkable—behind her books one feels a power of intellect quite exceptional in a novelist." —The Sunday Times"A dazzling story, light and comic in touch." —The Times (London)“As gorgeous and as strange as I remembered . . . I first read Under the Net more than 20 years ago. Iris Murdoch’s novels had enthralled me back then and I had greedily devoured her works. They have a particular appeal to young adults, speaking as they do of the glamorous mysteries of adults who seem to feel as deeply as teenagers, yet drink cocktails and have oodles of sex. . . . The novel thrums with a sense of possibility. . . . Murdoch’s gift for unusual yet precise descriptions of character is displayed in full. . . . Many of her most distinctive traits are present here in full-throated form. There are dazzling, phantasmagorical scenes . . . philosophical dialogues and a powerful enchanter figure. . . . The novel reads more freshly, energetically and involvingly than a great deal of 21st-century literary fiction. Murdoch achieves a rare thing: you want to be with her characters in all their glorious mayhem and to see the world as they do. When it appeared it must have shone in the gloom like a burst of crazy sunlight. Even today it has lost none of its manic, magical brilliance.” —Philip Womack, The Times (London)
