Lose yourself in bestselling author Lawrence Durrell's sublime
novel about a group of English tourists trapped in the minotaur's
labyrinth on Crete ... 'Spellbinding ... A fine storyteller.'
Guardian 'Superb ... Quite simply a lovely work of art.' New York
Times A group of English tourists have come ashore from their
cruise ship to explore the island of Crete. This motley crew -
including a painter, spiritualist, spinster, soldier, convalescent,
and elderly couple - are holidaying to seek respite from a broken
post-war world. But their journey reaches a disastrous climax when
they visit a cave reputed to be the legendary labyrinth of the
minotaur, and become trapped within ... Set in the glorious
Mediterranean landscapes which Lawrence Durrell so famously evoked
in his travel writing and novels, The Dark Labyrinth is a morality
tale unlike any other. Artfully blending horror and humour, comedy
and tragedy, witty allegory and profound philosophy, it is a
sublime novel, as refreshing today as it was decades ago. 'Superb,
not only in the great passages of poetical description but also
[the] casual wit and the brilliance of comment.' Observer 'Will
amuse those who enjoy satires on English manners and morals, engage
readers who like a build-up of suspense and delight lovers of the
sensuous world of the Greek islands.' New York Times
