  • "Set in Alexandria, Egypt, in the years between World Wars I and II, Justine is the first installment in the distinguished Alexandria Quartet. Here Lawrence Durrell crafts an exquisite and challenging modern novel that explores tragic love and the fluidity of recollection. Employing a fluctuating narrative and poetic prose, Durrell recounts his unnamed narrator's all-encompassing romance with the intoxicating Justine. The result is a matchless work that confronts all we understand and believe about sexual desire, identity, place, and the certainty of time."
  • "Story of the modern Egyptian city of Alexandria, in which an Irish schoolmaster, a passionate, tormented Jewess, a Greek cabaret dancer, and a Coptic financier play out their destinies amid decadent surroundings symbolic of an erotic world. For subsequent volumes in the series, see Author Catalog."

  • "Justine is one of four interlocking novels which each tell various aspects of a complex story of passion and deception from various points of view. The quartet is set in the Egyptian city of Alexandria of the 1930s and 1940s, and the city itself becomes as much of a complex character as the human protagonists. Justine is narrated by an Englishman, who is not named in this novel, but is named as "Darley" in the later novels of the quartet. He is a struggling writer and schoolmaster. At the beginning of the book, living alone on a Greek island, he retells past events and love affairs, including his affair with Justine- a beautiful, rich, and mysterious Jewish woman who is married to a wealthy Egyptian Copt, Nessim. Almost all of the characters are erotically obsessed with Justine. Justine uses the others' obsessions to satiate her own demons, often emotionally destroying those involved. The narrator and Justine begin to be afraid that her husband Nessim, who is also the narrator's friend and is obsessed with his wife to such a degree that he has her followed about the city, knows about their affair."@en
