Book
The Alexandria Quartet Boxed Set
by Lawrence Durrell
Includes Justine, Balthazar, Mountolive, and Clea. "People are always saying--inaccurately--that something or another is like a dream, but Durrell's Alexandria is actually like the landscape of a dream. A hot, dry city, surrounded by desert, raked by winds and by contradictions. A relentless yet voluptuous city, beautiful and squalid, overcivilized and primitive"--Anatole Broyard, Times [London]
Book

by Ludwig Wittgenstein
One of the most influential philosophical workks of the 20th century.
