About this deal

Si nuestro mundo fuera un mundo de verdad, habría templos donde Justine podría refugiarse y encontrar la paz que busca. Templos donde podría superar esa herencia que ha recibido; no esos malditos monasterios llenos de jovencitos católicos granujientos que han convertido sus órganos sexuales en asiento de bicicleta.” Justine es una de las grandes novelas del pasado siglo, y preveo y deseo que lo sean también las tres restantes que con esta componen El cuarteto de Alejandría y con las que me deleitaré en una experiencia lectora que se convertirá para mí en algo muy especial por razones que no vienen al caso. Does Durrell's "prism-sightedness" promise "a multi-dimensional effect in character"? What better reason can there be to read on, but to find out!

Durrell said that he had three literary uncles: T. S. Eliot, the Greek poet George Seferis, and Miller. He first read Miller after finding a copy of Tropic of Cancer that had been left behind in a public lavatory. He said the book shook him "from stem to stern". [9] Art & Outrage: A Correspondence About Henry Miller Between Alfred Perles and Lawrence Durrell (1959) In Corfu, Lawrence and Nancy lived together in bohemian style. For the first few months, the couple lived with the rest of the Durrell family in the Villa Anemoyanni at Kontokali. In early 1936, Durrell and Nancy moved to the White House, a fisherman's cottage on the shore of Corfu's northeastern coast at Kalami, then a tiny fishing village. The Durrell family's friend Theodore Stephanides, a Greek doctor, scientist and poet, was a frequent guest, and Miller stayed at the White House in 1939. Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special. If that sounds over-blown, well, the Quartet itself is not without pretension, in concept as in performance. As has generally been admitted, it is often ornate and over-written, sometimes to an almost comical degree. The high ambition of its schema can make its narratives and characters inexplicably confusing, and its virtuoso use of vocabulary can be trying ("pudicity"? "noetic"? "fatidic"? "scry"?). But if there are parts of the work that few readers, I suspect, will navigate without skipping, there are many passages of such grand inspiration that reaching them feels like emerging from choppy seas into marvellously clear blue Mediterranean waters.As Durrell explains in his preface to Balthazar, the four novels are an exploration of relativity and the notions of continuum and subject–object relation, with modern love as the theme. The Quartet 's first three books offer the same sequence of events through several points of view, allowing individual perspectives of a single set of events. The fourth book shows change over time. Idle to imagine falling in love as a correspondence of minds, of thoughts; it is a simultaneous firing of two spirits engaged in the autonomous act of growing up. And the sensation is of something having noiselessly exploded inside each of them. I went home to Melissa. "You are in love with Justine," she said. "No," I replied. "It is much worse than that." Is narcissism a habit? Was I too strong to be loved? Was I utterly deluded?
