Synopsis

The book presents an authentic portrait of Alexandria, the ancient city, around the Second World War through facts and a particular fiction The Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell who had to spend several years in Egypt and nearby places. Gustav Flaubert, Somerset Maugham, Noel Coward, and E. M. Forster were among the literary figures that visited and were influenced by the city. In recent years, in fact, Alexandria has changed due to its political and religious allegiance. It doesn’t have that luxury and sexual freedom for which it was visited by the Europeans. Yet the city has much to unravel for the visitors. Alexandria has kept its ancient spirit as well as its European and Arab spirit. The visitor will definitely be transported to the city of history as well the city of imagination created by the writers like Forester and Durrell. Alexandria of Durrell in The Alexandria Quartet was basically a reconstruction.
