Beskrivelse
Lose yourself in the thrilling political intrigue and tangled love affairs of wartime Egypt, in Durrell's epic modern classic. Every interpretation of reality is based upon a unique position ... As the threat of war looms over Alexandria, an exiled Anglo-Irish schoolteacher unravels his erotic obsession with two women: Melissa, a dancer, and Justine, a glamorous Egyptian wife. During sessions with his psychiatrist, Balthazar, their intricate love affair is cast in a radical, sinister new light, illuminating a mysterious plot connected to a recent murder - but Lawrence Durrell's kaleidoscopic storytelling means that nothing is ever as it seems ... 'Legendary ... Casts a spell ... A fine storyteller. Reader, watch out!' Jan Morris, Guardian'A brave and brazen work ... Lush and grandiose.'Independent'One of the very best novelists of our time ... [such] beauty.' New York Times Book ReviewVOLUME TWO OF LAWRENCE DURRELL'S ALEXANDRIA QUARTET
