Durrell, Lawrence. Tunc. First Edition. London, Faber and Faber, 1968. 20.8cm x 13.8cm. 316 (6) pages. Original Hardcover with original, unclipped dustjacket in protective Mylar. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. Rare in this condition ! The story is told by Felix, an inventor. When he was first approached by Merlin’s, that superbly organized, influential and successful firm with interests everywhere, though the offer was generous and the contract beyond reproach, something made him hesitate. Yet, after a visit to Turkey, he married into the firm. It was in Athens or at Hippolyta’s country house in Attica that he had felt in his element: with Iolanthe, the prostitue who had far to go, with the jesting architect Caradoc, with Sipple the clown, with others who frequented the brothel conducted by that upright woman Mrs. Henniker. It was to Athens that he thought of returning, on his planned disappearance from England to the South Seas. Over the years Felix had worked on his supreme invention. Abel can record everything. When he had lost everybody and thrown away everything, Abel was to be his answer to Mobego, and Julian, and Merlin’s.
