Bitter Lemons Durrell's Great Cyprus Portrait 1st Am Ed

Lawrence Durrell's lyrical and prescient account of time spent living on Cyprus in the early 1950's. Durrell, author of the highly acclaimed Alexandria Quartet, spins a marvelous tale of his time "first as a visitor, then as a household and teacher and finally as Press Advisor to a government on the verge of revolution." First American Edition with rare dust jacket. Book is in very fine condition with minor fraying at top of spine. Dust jacket has some minor fraying at top and some rubbing, which can be seen in scan. Some minor foxing on top and front edges. Overall, a remarkable copy of this memorable book.
