Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: No dust jacket - paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A masterwork of literary fiction by one of the twentieth century's most celebrated prose stylists, Monsieur or The Prince of Darkness opens Lawrence Durrell's ambitious five-novel sequence known as The Avignon Quintet. Set against the sun-drenched yet spiritually shadowed landscapes of Provence, the novel chronicles the intertwining lives of a group of friends whose relationships unravel in the wake of a devastating suicide, drawing the narrative into a labyrinthine meditation on love, death, and the nature of reality. Durrell's richly layered prose weaves together Gnostic philosophy, erotic obsession, and the haunting beauty of the South of France, presenting a world where the boundaries between fiction and truth are deliberately and brilliantly blurred. Winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, this novel stands as a testament to Durrell's genius for constructing narratives of extraordinary psychological and metaphysical depth.
