In the final volume of the "Alexandria Quartet", Darley returns to an Alexandria now caught by war-fever. The conflagration has its effect on his circle - on Nessim and Justine, Balthazar and Clea, Mountolive and Pombal.

As an added bonus, when you purchase our Audible Modern Vanguard production of Lawrence Durrell's book, you'll also get an exclusive Jim Atlas interview added to your library.

In this exclusive interview with AMV host Jim Atlas, Daniel Mendelsohn maps the psychology of Durrell's Alexandria and explains how this imperial city - uninhibited, tawdry, and multi-cultural - is the "fifth character" in Durrell's epic masterpiece.
