L’ultima isola che mancava alla collezione di Lawrence Durrell
Le isole sono state al centro dell’attenzione letteraria di Lawrence Durrell – scrittore nomade per eccellenza nei territori del Mediterraneo – che si voleva appunto «isolomane», per enfatizzare la passione dedicata ai numerosi luoghi in cui aveva dimorato. Aveva composto, a suo stesso dire, «una trilogia di libri sulle isole greche nel vano tentativo di circoscrivere il virus dell’isolomania».
Miłość, wspomnienie, obłęd
Zapomnijcie o romantyzmie spod znaku róż i świec – oto literatura, która drażni, uwodzi, zaskakuje. Wejdźcie z nami do "Czarnej księgi".

Okładka książki "Czarna księga" wydanej przez Zysk i s-ka Wydawnictwo W najgorętsze dni lata zdarzały się długie, pełne niewymuszonej swobody okresy, które spędzaliśmy wyłącznie we dwoje i które stanowią trzon moich wspomnień. Lecz nie tych faktycznych… bo co się tak naprawdę wydarza?
Justine - Lawrence Durrell (Buch) – lesen.de
Rediscover one of the twentieth century's greatest romances: a seductive tale of four tangled lovers in wartime Egypt, introduced by André Aciman (Call Me By Your Name and Find Me). Walking slowly home through the dark avenue of trees, tasting the brackish harbour wind, I remembered Justine saying harshly as she lay in bed: 'We use each other like axes to cut down the ones we really love'. Alexandria: the great winepress of love.

20 Sounds On The Erica Synths DB-01 Bassline Synthesizer
This video, via Richard DeHove, explores the sonic range of the Erica Synths DB-01 bassline synthesizer. The video explores the sonic range of the Erica Synths DB-01, using 1 pattern with 20 different bass sounds.

JUSTINE by Lawrence Durrell Read by Nicholas Boulton
Nicholas Boulton offers a masterful performance of this first volume of Lawrence Durrell's famed Alexandria Quartet. Boulton's rich voice, whether persuasive with seduction or throaty with frustration, captures the experience of an unnamed narrator as he succumbs to the charms of 1940s Alexandria, Egypt, and a few of its most alluring denizens--the enigmatic "Jewess," Justine; her Coptic Christian husband, Nessim; Balthasar, a master of Kabbalah; and Melissa, the narrator's tragic girlfriend.
The Exoticized Gaze in Durrell's 'The Alexandra Quartet'
‘An education system based on the abacus and a theology which got left behind with Augustine and Aquinas’. This is what someone says about Egypt in Lawrence Durrell’s The Alexandria Quartet. As other characters make throwaway remarks that are equally ridiculous–’The timorous soul of the Egyptian cries always for the whip’; ‘we Europeans in such disharmony with the fearful animal health of the blacks around us’–it is probably not divorced from the author’s own prejudices.

Does A Dedicated MIDI Controller For A Software Synth Make Sense?
In his latest loopop video, host Ziv Eliraz takes an in-depth look at the SoundForce SFC-60 – a dedicated hardware MIDI controller for TAL-U-NO-LX, a software emulation of the classic Roland Juno-60 synthesizer. “In this video, I explore the integration, as well as how it works with other Juno plug-ins (the new JUN-6 from Arturia), as well as iOS app,” he notes. “Does it make sense to buy a MIDI controller dedicated to a plugin synth?” asks Eliraz.

“Ah,” said Antrobus, “so you remember that. What did he write?” “‘The thought that members of my staff are beginning to introject American forms into the Mother Tongue has given me great pain. I am ordering Head of Chancery to instruct staff that no despatches to the Foreign Secretary should contain phrases of this nature.’” “Phew.” “As you say—phew.” “But Nemesis”, said Antrobus, “was lying in wait for him, old chap.

Justine
Het decor voor Justine is het Alexandrië van eind jaren 1930: een exotische, stoffige stad waar verschillende culturen en religies elkaar ontmoeten. Durrells Alexandrië is een stad waar Europeanen naast Egyptenaren leven, Joden en christenen naast moslims. Vooral de hoofdpersoon Justine is een weerspiegeling van de stad in al haar complexiteit. De verteller - wiens naam, Darley, maar één keer wordt genoemd - en Justine beginnen een geheimzinnige, heftige liefdesaffaire.

Get the Word of the Day - Faustian | Dictionary.com
Origin of Faustian Johann Faust (c1481–c1541), Latinized as Johannes Faustus, was an itinerant German alchemist, astrologer, magician, and thaumaturge. Legend has it that even though he was very successful, he became dissatisfied with his life and with the limits of human knowledge and therefore sold his soul to the Devil for limitless knowledge and pleasure for a limited time—the Faustian bargain. Faust in German means ”fist”; faustus in Latin means ”of favorable omen, auspicious.”
The British in Europe: A Brexit Reading List
With the British people voting to leave the European Union, world markets in tailspin, nativism on the rise, leadership faltering, and recriminations and regret dominating the international conversation, it seems the long and fruitful relationship between Britain and the continent may be coming to an end, at least in its current form. We decided, then, to take a look at some of the literary bounty of that relationship: books by and about Brits in Europe.
