Lawrence Durrell’s Alexandria Quartet is a landmark of 20th-century literature—an ambitious, layered exploration of love, memory, and political intrigue set in the exotic, decaying beauty of pre-World War II Alexandria. Told through shifting perspectives across four interconnected novels, it challenges the idea of objective truth and helped redefine the modern novel with its experimental structure and lush, poetic prose. Read it in style with this beautiful set of hardcovers.
