Lawrence Durrell (1912 - 1990) was an expatriate British novelist, poet, dramatist, and travel writer. Born in India to colonial parents, he was sent to England at the age of eleven for his education. His first book was published in 1935, when he was 23. In March,1935, he and his wife, and his mother and younger siblings, moved to the island of Corfu. Durrell spent many years afterward living around the world, to include Paris, France--associating closely with Henry Miller and Anais Nin; then Alexandria, Egypt and Rhodes; Cordoba, Spain, and Belgrade; and elsewhere. During the late 1930's, Faber and Faber offered to publish Durrell's THE BLACK BOOK in an expurgated edition, but on the advice of author Henry Miller, Durrell declined. It was then published by Obelisk Press in Paris along with Henry Miller's, Max and the White Phagocytes and Anaïs Nin's, Winter of Artifice. Although THE BLACK BOOK was published in 1938, Durrell had written the novel over a 16-month period from September 1935 until December 1936. The novel shows several surrealist influences in part related to the 1936 London International Surrealist Exhibition, about which Henry Miller forwarded Durrell materials from Herbert Read. The initial publication had to be in Paris because THE BLACK BOOK's explicit sexual content prohibited publication in England. It was published in the US in 1960, but not published in Great Britain by Faber & Faber until 1973, following the successful courtroom defense of D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover. Durrell's most famous work is probably The Alexandria Quartet, a tetralogy published between 1957 and 1960. SUPERIOR CONDITION internally and externally (with slight rubbing to the extremities of the dust jacket).

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition.

Julius Caesar gave Provence its name and built his fleet for the Egyptian campaign there - at Arles, which was then a coastal city. Earlier, the Roman general Marius, whom history has sorely neglected, brilliantly defeated a vast horde of Nordic barbarians there, thus saving Rome from almost certain destruction. Long before the Romans discovered Provence, the Phoenicians and Greeks had preceded them. But these earlier settlers were essentially seagoing people, and it was the Romans who left their indelible mark, magnificent vestiges of which remain today: arenas and theaters, arches and bridges, road systems and aqueducts. Caesar's vast ghost still haunts the tourist playgrounds of today. ********************************************* "Durrell clearly loves Provence and savors it as perhaps only an adopted son can. His is not a guidebook, though readers will find here information and countless intriguing morsels unavailable in any tourist handbook. Nor is it a writer's journal, though it preserves memories and cameos from the author's intimate knowledge of the place and people. It is, rather, a letter to posterity, capturing the essential spirit of this ancient, enchanting land, watered by a great river, and the extraordinary array of warriors, historians, philosophers, troubadours, popes, and poets who constitute its human history through the centuries. Durrell was a long-time close friend of Henry Miller, and the two of them influenced each others' work. ************************************* TITLE : Caesar's Vast Ghost, Aspects of Provence / AUTHOR : Lawrence Durrell (1913 - 1990) / ILLUSTRATIONS : Photos by Harry Peccinotti; End-papers by Oscar Epfs / IMPRINT : Arcade Publishing (Subsidiary of Little, Brown Co.) / PLACE : New York / YEAR : (1990) / EDITION : First U.S. Edition, so stated and with publisher's number line, 1 - 10 / STATUS : OP PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Trade hardcover; contains 39 color photographs + 2 small illustrations appended; includes an Introduction, Notes and Sources, an index; xiv + 210 pages; approximately 7 3/8" x 9 5/8"; dark green boards with title, etc. lettered in gold on spine; color-decorated end-papers; color-pictorial photographic dust-jacket; rear panel of jacket has a photo-portrait of Durrell *********************************** CONDITION - VERY GOOD - A desireable copy, clean, bright and presentable the sole imperfections being to the dust-jacket - mild surface rub and a small with wrinkles to the bottom edge of the rear panel it's a lovely copy.
