About

The acclaimed first novel of the Alexandria Quartet, and the celebrated story of an all-consuming love transcending time and place. Set in Alexandria, Egypt, in the years between World Wars I and II, Justine is the first installment in the distinguished Alexandria Quartet. Here Lawrence Durrell crafts an exquisite and challenging modern novel that explores tragic love and the fluidity of recollection. Employing a fluctuating narrative and poetic prose, Durrell recounts his unnamed narrator's all-encompassing romance with the intoxicating Justine. The result is a matchless work that confronts all we understand and believe about sexual desire, identity, place, and the certainty of time.   This ebook contains a new introduction by Jan Morris.

    Reviews

    "Durrell makes Alexandria seem a glitteringly sophisticated, dazzlingly beautiful, and suffocatingly evil place. . . . The final effect is one of unity and great strength. A brilliant novel."
    Newsweek
    "Here is a very remarkable novel: deeper in thought, more intricate in design, more distinguishable in style than most . . . Justine is altogether worth our delighted and admiring attention."
    New York Herald Tribune Book Review
