Product Information
Refounded on the African littoral and on the verge of an alien culture, yet rich in historical associations central to Western civilisation, Alexandria epitomised for Cavafy, Forster and Durrell the vulnerability of their worlds. The city haunted each of them, that cosmopolitan Alexandria whose roots were the fragile memory-traces of its past, and it became a model for each of them, a microcosm and a mirror.Product Identifiers
