About This Item
The four wonderful novels of The Alexandria Quartet are collected in one readable volume," the rare feat of perfectly balancing and intertwining emotion, sensation and thinking, through four novels" (TLS). This copy is in mint shape, complete with dust jacket.
Synopsis
The Alexandria Quartet is a tetralogy of novels by British writer Lawrence Durrell, published between 1957 and 1960. A critical and commercial success, the books present four perspectives on a single set of events and characters in Alexandria, Egypt, before and during World War II. As Durrell explains in his preface to Balthazar, the four novels are an exploration of relativity and the notions of continuum and subject-object relation, with modern love as the subject.
