Lawrence Durrell
Lawrence Durrell was born in 1912 in India. He attended the Jesuit College at Darjeeling and St. Edmund's School, Canterbury. His first literary work,
The Black Book, appeared in Paris in 1938. His first collection of poems,
A Private Country, was published in 1943, followed by the three Island books:
Prospero's Cell;
Reflections on a Marine Venus, about Rhodes; and
Bitter Lemons, his account of life in Cyprus. Durrell's wartime sojourn in Egypt led to his masterpiece,
The Alexandria Quartet, which he completed in southern France, where he settled permanently in 1957. Between the quartet and
The Avignon Quintet he wrote the two-decker
Tunc and
Nunquam. His oeuvre includes plays, a book of criticism, translations, travel writing, and humorous stories about the diplomatic corps.
Caesar's Vast Ghost, his reflections on the history and culture of Provence, including a late flowering of poems, was published a few days before his death in Sommières in 1990.
Samenvatting
As every reader of Durrell knows, his writing is steeped in the living experience of the Mediterranean, and especially the islands of Greece. This captivating and highly unusual text, originally conceived as a picture book and now reset in paperback format, weaves together evocative descriptions, history and myth with Durrell's personal reminiscences. No traveller to Greece or admirer of the genius of Durrell should miss it.
