Comment on the "Alexandria Quartet"
(including "Balthasar")

from George Yfantidis flame2@usa.net from Thessaloniki Greece

Alexandria Quartet is the novel of the millenium
It is not a Masterpiece. It is the best book ever written. Full of characters poetry and love. Lawrence durrell said that it is an inquiry about modern love. This book is perfect in every sence. Alexandria the city with its beauty and decline is the inspiration power. The novel of the millenium. Really. This book has the power to change your life or at least put you in a world so exotic amazing and real that you will start losing your words and breath.

The Best Film I Have Ever Seen!
I was fifteen years old and on the eve of starting my first high school football game. I couldn't sleep from nervousness. So I went into the living room and flipped the television on. I then saw the movie of my life; the one film that would for the next 35 years (and beyond)haunt and thrill me upon each and every viewing.

Jimmy Stewart was the best actor ever to live. And Kim Novack was and is a stunning beauty. Neither had been as good as they were together in this magnificent film, which I have seen over and over.
