THE PLACEBO, A New Lawrence Durrell publication (June 2018)

The Placebo, a new Lawrence Durrell publication (June 2018)

DURRELL LIBRARY OF CORFU and COLENSO BOOKS announce an important addition to the LAWRENCE DURRELL canon.

"The Placebo is distinguished from Durrell’s other novels in that it is set entirely in Greece. The book is illustrated with photographs of Athens in the first half of the twentieth century, showing the city much as it still was in the period in which the book is set, the late 1940s to early 1950s. The cover is based on Durrell’s sketch for the village of 'Peristeri'."
