Hardcover. 316 pp. The first of an eventual two-part dystopian series, a novel about a gifted inventor and scientist, Felix Charlock, who is recruited by the mysterious firm of :Merlin's", a superbly organized and successful company with international ties and influence. Felix hesitates to accept but after a trip to Turkey marries into the firm. His new world is peopled by characters such as Iolanthe, a prostitute; Caradoc, a jesting architect, Sipple the clown, and with others who frequented a brothel conducted by the upright woman Mrs. Henniker.

It was followed by "Nunquam" and together the series came to be known as "The Revolt of Aphrodite" (so called by the American publisher, not by Durrell).

Condición: Sehr gut. Erste Ausgabe. 316 S. Umschl. mit Gebrauchsspuren. - EA. - This is the first novel Lawrence Durrell has written since Clea, the last of The Alexandria Quartet, was published in i960 and it is, like Justine, one of his major novels marking a new phase in his work. What does the title mean? Tune in Latin means 'then', 'next' or 'next in succession': time is certainly very important in this enigmatic and engrossing novel, with its marvellous sweep of action and ideas. The story (or almost all of 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 prostitute 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. Lawrence Durrell writes: 'Tune is roughly about what it's about; the reader makes it up as he goes along, if he goes along with it, that is. If it is what it sets up to be it will be building its reader as it unrolls through him. Is there any reason why we should care for this sort of thing? Well, it is an attempt to discuss human culture-not of any special epoch, but the quiddity of the idea of culture-in the shadow-play terms of the novel. This makes it the strangest sort of book. Tune does not pretend to pretend. All the characters are as real as they make you and die happily ever after like readers and writers do. What more can one ask?'
