Lawrence Durrell — Tunc
London, Faber and Faber, 1968. First edition. Cloth. A first edition of this novel by Lawrence Durrell. The first in a two part series which follows genius inventor Felix Charlock and his dealings with a mysterious and controlling company known as Merlin. The series, known as The Revolt of Aphrodite, was less well received than Durrell's earlier works The Alexandria Quartet, and more openly tackles ideological and political problems, and the dystopian themes have earned it a comparison to 1984.

Dustwrapper very smart with light wear to the head and tail of the spine and occasional spots and handling marks. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: None.
