Krátky popis
Rediscover one of the twentieth century's greatest romances: a
seductive tale of four tangled lovers in wartime Egypt, introduced
by Andre Aciman (Call Me By Your Name and Find Me)Walking slowly
home through the dark avenue of trees, tasting the brackish harbour
wind, I remembered Justine saying harshly as she lay in bed: 'We
use each other like axes to cut down the ones we really love'.
Alexandria: the great winepress of love. Trams, palm trees, and
watermelon stalls lie honey-bathed in sunlight, in darkened
bedrooms, sweaty lovers unfurl.But in a world trembling on the
brink of war, passion and death are inextricable. When a penniless
Anglo-Irish schoolteacher begins an affair with Justine - a married
Egyptian lady of unparalleled glamour - their partners, Melissa and
Nessim, are sucked into a whirlpool of jealousy and violence. One
of the twentieth century's greatest romances, rich in political and
sexual intrigue, Lawrence Durrell's scandalous 'investigation of
modern love' set the world alight in 1957 and - as Andre Aciman
reveals - it burns just as brightly today.'A masterpiece.'

spell ... Reader, watch out!' Guardian'Lushly beautiful ...One of
