Biographie de Lawrence Durrell

Lawrence DURRELL was a prize-winning British novelist, poet, dramatist and travel writer. Born in 1912 in India to British parents, he was educated in England and later moved to Corfu with his family - a period his brother Gerald fictionalised in My Family and Other Animals and which he recalled in Prospero's Cell. The first of Durrell's island books, this was followed by Reflections on a Marine Venus, on Rhodes ; Bitter Lemons, on Cyprus ; and The Greek Islands, among other books.
A wartime sojourn in Egypt inspired his bestselling The Alexandria Quartet ; and while living in France, he completed The Avignon Quintet, the third novel of which was nominated for the Booker Prize. Durrell died in 1990.
