Small corner creases to covers, one more noticeable at head of first cover. Manuscript signature of Lawrence Durrell on the half-title page. Provenance: from the library of Jani Brun. Among the olive trees and under the Mediterranean sun, Lawrence Durrell met in the mid-1960s the young and vivacious "Jany" (Janine Brun), a thirty-something woman from Montpellier of devastating beauty, who worked in the Department of Antiquities at the Sorbonne in Paris. She was nicknamed "Buttons" in memory of their first meeting, when the young woman wore a dress covered with buttons. Henry Miller also fell under the charm of "Buttons," praising her beauty and eternal youth in exceptional unpublished letters. The three companions spent memorable Parisian evenings of which we preserve precious autograph traces through their epistolary exchanges. Recommended by Durrell, she made numerous trips particularly to England from where she received extensive correspondence from the writer as well as original works of art signed with his artist pseudonym, Oscar Epfs. *.

Uncommon signed and inscribed. Clea is the fourth and final novel of Lawrence Durrell's celebrated tetralogy The Alexandria Quartet, a sequence of novels set in Alexandria, Egypt during the 1940s that stands as one of the great formal achievements of twentieth-century English-language fiction. Where the first three novels â" Justine, Balthazar, and Mountolive â" revisit the same events from shifting perspectives across space and time, Clea moves the narrative forward chronologically, completing what Durrell described as a design modeled on the relativity proposition in physics: four dimensions, four novels, one unified exploration of love, politics, and the nature of reality. The tetralogy as a whole was named by the Modern Library as one of the 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century, and Clea in particular has been praised by the New York Times for bringing the sequence to a close with what it called a spontaneous, resourceful new beauty.
