About This Item
London: Faber & Faber, 1968-70. First editions, first printings. This is a near fine pair. Both dust wrappers, in their distinct style, have some very slight handling marks and surface wear. Neither have been price clipped and show the original 25s and 30s respective prices. The internals are clean in each case, and the text blocks notably clean, though the top edge of Tunc is mildly foxed. The Book Society Choice band, present on Tuncis without notable wear and correctly shows the novel title on the front flap. Overall, this is a near fine pair of Durrell's 'The Revolt of Aphrodite' duet.
The individual volumes, Tunc and Nunquam, were less successful than his earlier 'Alexandria Quartet' in part because they deviate significantly from his earlier style and because they approach more openly political and ideological problems.
