Description

Lose yourself in the thrilling political intrigue and tangled love affairs of wartime Egypt Durrells epic modern classic, introduced by Alaa Al Aswany (bestselling author of The Yacoubian Building).Every interpretation of reality is based upon a unique position ...As the threat of world war looms over the city of Alexandria, an exiled AngloIrish schoolteacher unravels his erotic obsession with two women Melissa, a fragile dancer, and Justine, a glamorous married Egyptian woman. Through conversations with Balthazar, a doctor and mystic, these intricate love affairs are cast in an ominous, sinister new light, as his private fixations become entangled with a mysterious murder plot ... One of the twentieth centurys greatest masterpieces, rich in political and sexual intrigue, Lawrence Durrells investigation of modern love in the Alexandria Quartet set the world alight. Published in 1958, a year after the sensational Justine, the kaleidoscopic Balthazar burns just as brightly today.Legendary ... Casts a spell ... A fine storyteller. Reader, watch out!
