Klea (El cuarteto de Alejandría)

Book Details

Diplomático, profesor, agregado de prensa británico y espía en Alejandría Egipto, hermano mayor del escritor de animales Gerald Darrell, Lawrence Darrell se hizo mundialmente famoso después de la publicación del Cuarteto de Alejandría, que dividió la crítica en inglés en dos campos: el primero predijo la gloria del nuevo Proust al autor, que lo veía como un charlatán literario. La cuarta novela del cuarteto, Clea (1960), es el desarrollo y finalización de la historia planteada desde diferentes ángulos en Justine, Balthazar y Mountolive. Los héroes del cuarteto, atrapados en la vorágine de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, finalmente desentrañan las complejidades de su pasado y, con pérdidas inevitables, dan un paso hacia el futuro.
