  • "In Mountolive, the third volume in the Alexandrian Quartet, as war begins to loom, British Ambassador David Mountolive enters the intrigues of the interwoven community of characters. The story told in the two previous volumes is complicated further through the lens of this new character... The love stories are incredibly deep and diverse, and Durrell's writing is both beautiful and inspiring. Mountolive is an Englishman working with the Foreign Service who comes to know his Dionysian self in the humidity and turmoil of early 20th century Egypt. He falls in love with his married hostess, and this relationship leaves him capable of loving only one woman and one place. The other notable couples portray a stunning array of what drives people toward love. A desire for power drives Justine and Nessim together as it does much more subtlely in the vignette about Amaril and Semira. This book stands out on its own but leaves you dying to find out more about these rich characters. --Cathryn JT at Amazon.com."
  • "David Mountolive is a British diplomat who views love as just another everyday transaction. But as romance turns to betrayal and secret alliances are exposed, Mountolive's affair will bring the true complexity of contemporary love to the forefront amid the swirling political climate of Alexandria."
  • "Publié en 1959, ce roman est le troisième épisode du Quatuor d'Alexandrie, une entreprise littéraire qui demeurera, avec celles de Proust et de Joyce, exemplaire et intarissable."
  • "The romantic quadrangle presented in Justine and Balthazar is presented from a startling new angle, and an adulterous marriage turns out to be a vehicle for the explosive passions of the modern Middle East."
  • "Een Engels diplomaat keert als ambassadeur terug naar Egypte dat hem sinds een liefdesaffaire in zijn jeugd magnetisch bleef trekken en valt daar midden in een politiek-religieuze samenzwering met alle spanningen en intriges eraan verbonden."
  • "Publié en 1959, ce roman est le troisième épisode du "Quatuor d'Alexandrie", une entreprise littéraire qui demeurera, avec celles de Proust et de Joyce, exemplaire et intarissable. Roman d'une ville semi-orientale, mais aussi de notre civilisation oáu la mutation éthique (excès de maturité ou décadence) est plus importante que toutes les convulsions ésotériques que promeuvent guerres ou révolutions. Constat impitoyable d'une modernité factice oáu la momification menace. Commentaire intransigeant du Baudelaire de "Là tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté/luxe, calme et volupté" mais commentaire en creux oáu résonne avec la patience du sablier le vide de ces êtres en qui nous recon."
