Description

Lawrence Durrell's Justine (I. Cuarteto de Alejandría) is a landmark novel that showcases his innovative approach to narrative. Written in 1957, it is the first part of his acclaimed quartet, which explores the possibilities of language and storytelling. Durrell's experience as a diplomat in various countries informs this work, which delves into themes of identity, culture, and human relationships. The novel's experimental style, particularly in its treatment of time and space, sets it apart from other literary works of its time. Justine is the first installment in Durrell's quartet, followed by Balthazar, Mountolive, and Clea. This tetralogy has been widely praised for its literary merit and has drawn comparisons with notable authors such as Proust and Faulkner.
