Summary

Lawrence Durrell: Balthazar

Baltazar, the second book in Darrell's Alexandria Quartet series of novels, is an enchanting and disturbing work. Once the reader breaks through the fascinating, glittering surface, he will discover that nothing is as it seems.

In Alexandria, in the years before the Second World War, an Irishman tries to cope with a sexual obsession. In this sensual limbo, there are two women with him: the tuberculosis dancer Melisa and Justina, a fatal Jew, the wife of a very powerful Copt. What emerges in the conversations that the protagonist has with Balthazar, an obscure and mysterious character, is something even more complex and darker than the simple neurosis of lovers. Lawrence Durrell's kaleidoscopic narrative draws us into a world where the eyes are often deceiving, and love is revealed as a terrifying act of betrayal.

"Balthazar is difficult to retell. This book simply resists summary presentation. Its core is constantly escaping like smoke. The writing style itself is fantastic... An exceptional book; a book you will surely want to read again and again"
