«Baltasar» is the novel by Lawrence Durrell, published by Ulisseia in paperback (275 pages, in Portuguese).
In Alexandria before the outbreak of war, an exiled Irish professor tries to free himself from a sexual obsession that binds him to Melissa, a café dancer, and to Justine, wife of Nessim, a Coptic Christian. His sessions with the psychiatrist Baltasar reveal something more sinister than a neurosis, in a kaleidoscopic narrative where perception is deceptive and love turns into betrayal.
The novel is the second installment of the Alexandria Quartet saga.
For readers of literary fiction and twentieth-century classics.
Lawrence George Durrell was an expatriate British novelist, poet, dramatist, and travel writer. He was the eldest brother of naturalist and writer Gerald Durrell.
