«Mountolive» is the novel by Lawrence Durrell published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (512 pages, in French).
Mountolive, a British diplomat, returns to Egypt and reunites with the Hosnani family: Nessim, Narouz and their mother Leila, with whom he had been in love. Nessim, married to Justine, is suspected of trafficking arms for Palestine; the death of Pursewarden, who had vouched for him, shakes his certainties in an Alexandria he no longer recognises.
Third instalment of the Alexandria Quartet, originally published in 1958; this French edition is from 1982 and the translation is by Roger Giroux.
For readers of literary fiction and diplomatic intrigue, with a colonial Alexandria and its political tensions as a backdrop.
Lawrence George Durrell was an expatriate British novelist, poet, dramatist, and travel writer. He was the eldest brother of naturalist and writer Gerald Durrell.
