Si bien en el primer libro del Cuarteto la imagen que se nos ofrecía de las relaciones amorosas y sexuales entre Darley y la enigmática Justine conservaban un cierto halo romántico, la versión de los acontecimientos que nos proporciona el eridito doctor Balthazar abre nuevas vías a la interpretación de esos mismo sucesos, así como también del suicidio de Pursawarden. Estamos pues ante la misma historia ya narrada en Justine, y sin embargo la forma de contarla, la atención a unos aspectos u otros, el distinto conocimiento de los detalles y el diálogo que se establece entre las cartas en que se cuenta esta historia y el joven que las recibe hacen que sea una novela completamente distinta a su predecesora, con una mayor carga de dramatismo y misterio. El Cuarteto de Alejandría, formado por Justine, Balthazar, Mountolive y Clea es la obra que convierte a Durrell en un clásico de nuestro tiempo. Balthazar permite ya al lector empezar a vislumbrar la colosal dimensión literaria que alcanzará El cuarteto de Alejandría, donde Durrell logró llevar un punto más allá el perpectivismo narrativo, al tiempo que sondeaba con inusual intensidad el alma de un grupo de personajes difíciles de olvidar. Una novela deslumbrante, fundacional de un nuevo modo de narrar. En esta nueva edición de Balthazar se han restituido unos pocos fragmentos que parecen obedecer a un revisión posterior del propio autor, cuando reunió todo el cuarteto en un sólo volumen y tal vez en álgún caso a supresiones de la censura franquista. También disponible en edición económica de bolsillo. Os dejamos una muestra de lo que opinan algunos autores sobre esta novela: "Balthazar es fabulosa. Está llena de los incidentes y acontecimientos más sorprendentes" HENRY MILLER

The dazzling second volume of The Alexandria Quartet—an enthralling and deeply disturbing work of gorgeous surfaces and endless deceptions. In Alexandra, in the years before the Second World War, an exiled Irish schoolteacher seeks to unravel his sexual obsession with two women: the tubercular café dancer, Melissa, and Justine, the alluring Jewish wife of a wealthy Coptic Christian. What emerges in his sessions with the psychiatrist Balthazar, however, is something far more complex—and unfathomably more sinister—than neurosis. Lawrence Durrell’s kaleidoscopic narrative ushers us into a world in which no perception is reliable—and love itself is always an act of treachery. “Durrell is one of the very best novelists of our time. . . . He has a sensuous, vigorous style that I have not found equaled by any other novelist today. . . . A spontaneous, resourceful new beauty that any sensitive reader will almost certainly love.”—The New York Book Review “It is difficult to sum up Balthazar; it will not be contained. It spills or slips away like smoke. The sheer writing is superb. . . . A wonderful book, a book to read many times.”—The Houston Post

Rediscover one of the twentieth century's greatest romances in Lawrence Durrell's seductive tale of four tangled lovers in wartime Egypt that is 'stunning' (André Aciman) and 'wonderful' (Elif Shafak).'A masterpiece.' Guardian'A formidable, glittering achievement.' TLS'One of the great works of English fiction.' Times 'Dazzlingly exuberant ... Superb.' Observer'Brave and brazen ... Lush and grandiose.' Independent 'Legendary ... Casts a spell ... Reader, watch out!' Guardian'Lushly beautiful ... One of the most important works of our time.' NYTBRAlexandria, Egypt. 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 the Second World War, passion and death are inextricable. When Darley, a penniless schoolteacher, begins an affair with Justine - a married Egyptian woman 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, Lawrence Durrell's scandalous 'investigation of modern love' set the world alight in 1957. Rich in political and sexual intrigue, his epic masterpiece burns just as brightly today. Introduced by Jan Morris, this oomnibus edition collects all four novels together in all their glory.What Readers Are Saying - Justine (Book 1):'Sometimes you discover a new author and know you're going to be friends for life ... One of the most beautiful books I've ever read.''I absolutely adored this book ... I felt sucked into it with an amazing force by the beauty of the words ... The backdrop of 1930s Egypt's literary circles and bohemian relationships is mesmerising ... Breathtaking.''Shimmering and dreamlike ... One of the most beautifully written books I've read ... All of life is here; can't wait for the next one.''Lush, brutal, beautiful ... Durrell captured a place and time that will never exist again.''What makes this novel truly spectacular is the language, the episodic jumps in time, the lush lyricism, and how Durrell so deftly manages to tie this all into both the city of Alexandria and the themes of passion, love, and jealousy.

Consisting of Justine, Balthazar, Mountolive and Clea, The Alexandria Quartet explores the sexual and political intrigues of a group of expatriates in Egypt before and after the Second World War. In Justine, L. G. Darley attempts to reconcile himself to the recent end of his affair with the dark, passionate, multi-faceted Justine Hosnani. Balthazar is named for Darley's friend, a doctor and mystic, and it provides a retelling of Darley's romance with Justine from a more philosophical perspective. Mountolive is the narrative of English ambassador David Mountolive. The final volume, Clea, finds Darley maturing into the knowledge that the gifted painter Clea Montis is the woman for whom he is truly destined.
