Summary

The Avignon Quintet began is the definitive legacy of Lawrence Durrell. Each of the novels that compose it (Monsieur, Livia, Constance, Sebastian and Quinx) can be read independently, but the five together offers the last stage of what the author defined as his heraldic universe, based on symbolism Buddhist of the five elements that make up the personality of the human being. 

Author Biography

Lawrence Durrell first made his name as a poet and novelist in the 1930s and had his first major critical success with The Black Book. However, it is The Alexandria Quartet, the impressive tetralogy composed by Justine, Balthazar, Mountolive and Clea, the work that makes it a classic of our time, due largely to its exploration of the possibilities of narrative language and that provoked enthusiastic comparisons of the author with Proust and Faulkner. Like much of his narrative, it comes from his personal experience as a diplomat in Greece, Yugoslavia, Cyprus and Egypt and is characterized by formal experimentation in the treatment of time and space.
