Download or read book Quinx written by Lawrence Durrell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the final volume of a quintet, a hunt for ancient treasure in southern France lays bare the flawed philosophies that animated the Second World War. Just after World War II, a motley assortment of treasure hunters, mystics, psychoanalysts, and former Nazis race to uncover a treasure buried centuries before by the Knights Templar. Durrell displays his diabolical playfulness and immense imagination as his characters meet and become entangled, long-buried plots reemerge, and the past and future are funneled into the present action. Here the music of the Alexandria Quintetresolves as a symphony, and the series as a whole emerges as a worthy and enduring entry to Durrell’s distinguished career.

On this world, there are many races that use magic spells and weapons. Even so, spell-casters have been hunted and killed for nearly a century because of fear and jealousy of their power. As the book opens, a group of adventurers are brought together by Redlina half-human, half-fire-giantto quest for a magic ax known as the Slayer of Evermore. Redlin has ruled over a vast portion of the planet for centuries because of his status as a powerful magician, warrior, and smith able to produce magical weapons of unparalleled strength. Now, his rule is challenged and he has called his allies together for help. Though some of the members of the expedition are well-seasoned fighters and wizards, others are ill-prepared to participate in the adventure. Despite being the most powerful and influential king on Moniva, Redlin needs the Slayer of Evermore to defeat Thrack Morgan, an evil wizard who has been destroying Redlins allies in an attempt to conquer all the human kingdoms on the planet. As the quest begins, two great armies have amassed to do battle. Both sides need to find and claim the Slayer of Evermore in order to ensure final conflict is swayed in their favor. As the quest progresses, the party is shattered by injury, treachery, and happenstance. The ultimate success of the expedition falls to Twig and Aaron, the youngest members of the party as they learn about duty, honor, and leadership. Twig is an apprentice magician who has never been without a teacher while Aaron is a fledgling king who is not ready for the power or the responsibility of his new title. Along the way, they discover love, inner strength, and self-sacrifice.

Book Synopsis Indian Metaphysics in Lawrence Durrell’s Novels by : C. Ravindran Nambiar

This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study of the influence of Indian metaphysics on Lawrence Durrell’s novels, Professor Nambiar offers a unique milestone in the history of Durrellian criticism. Embracing Durrell’s search for universal awareness through Western and Indian metaphysics, the book presents a new metaphysical reading of the writer’s prose that has remained untapped until now. Exploring Durrell’s quest for a new reality through fiction, Nambiar focuses in-depth on The Avignon Quintet and questions the complex symbolic patterns that shape the polymorphous characters’ peregrinations through space and time. With much subtlety, modesty and wit, Indian Metaphysics in Lawrence Durrell’s Novels opens up the mysterious doors of “the kingdom of the imagination”.
Book Synopsis Durrell Re-read by : James M. Clawson
Download or read book Durrell Re-read written by James M. Clawson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the twelve major novels of Lawrence Durrell, this study argues for their consideration as a single major project, an opus, marked by themes of liminality and betweenness. As major texts of mid-twentieth-century literature, repeatedly earning nominations for the Nobel Prize, Durrell’s work has attracted renewed critical attention since his centenary in 2012. This study shows the thematic unity of the opus in five areas. First, by disrupting expectations of love and death and by fashioning plural narrators, works in the opus blend notions of the subject and the object. Second, in their use of metafictional elements, the texts present themselves as neither fiction nor reality. Third, their approach to place and identity offers something between the naturalistic and the human-centric. Fourth, though the texts’ initial concerns are engaged with understanding the past and preparing for a future, they all resolve in something like the present. And fifth, though the novels reject many aspects of modernism, they reside nevertheless between the poles of modernism and postmodernism. Shared with other writers, including T.S. Eliot and Henry Miller, as early as the 1940s, Durrell’s plans for his major works of fiction remained consistent through the publication of the last novel in 1985, and these plans show the need to consider the twelve major works as a unitary whole.
Book Synopsis The Avignon Quintet by : Lawrence Durrell
Download or read book The Avignon Quintet written by Lawrence Durrell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 934 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the visionary author of the Alexandria Quartet comes a landmark five-part series hailed by the Sunday Times as “one of the great novels of our time.” One of the most celebrated English writers ever, Lawrence Durrell was a bestselling author whose vivid metafictions pushed the boundaries of modern literature. The cosmopolitan provocateur transcended borders, ideologies, and time in his work, and he’s at the height of his powers in the Avignon Quintet. More formally daring than the Alexandria Quartet, these sweeping and stylish novels set before, during, and after World War II loosely center on the race to uncover a treasure buried by the Knights Templar. Each reveals a seemingly disparate piece of the puzzle. In Monsieur, it’s the bittersweet return to southern France by a British doctor; in Livia, it’s two sisters driven apart by the rise of Nazism in Europe. In Constance, a Freudian analyst struggles for clarity in a world on fire; in Sebastian, she reconnects with the charismatic cult leader she knew in the deserts of Egypt. And in Quinx, long-buried plots reemerge as the past and future are funneled into the present. Durrell himself described the Avignon Quintet as a “quincunx,” a series of novels “roped together like climbers on a rockface, but all independent.” Together they form a powerful meditation on the search for meaning in a world of chaos and brutality.
