Lawrence Durrell – Clea – First Edition 1960
£45.00
A first edition, first printing published by Faber in 1960. A very good book without inscriptions to the front endpaper – there are some small stains to the rear pages. In a very good unclipped wrapper. The spine is slightly faded. Overall, this is a very good copy.
Clea by Lawrence Durrell is the final volume of The Alexandria Quartet, bringing closure to the intricate exploration of love, art and politics in wartime Alexandria. Narrator Darley returns to the city after years away, reconnecting with old acquaintances amid the chaos of World War II. At the novel’s heart is Clea, a painter whose strength and sensitivity embody renewal. Durrell blends lyrical prose, shifting perspectives and philosophical depth to create a meditation on passion, creativity and reconciliation.
