The article is devoted to the problem of intertextual inclusions in the John Fowles's
novel «Daniel Martin». Allusions to T. S. Eliot’s poem «The Waste Land» are considered. There is a
connection between Eliot's image of the disintegrated world and the leitmotif of the ruins in Fowles'
novel. The peculiarities of the interpretation by Fowles and Eliot of the prospect of a person gaining
a holistic perception of the world are revealed.
