Alexandria Quartet. Justine. Balthazar

Four parts of the novel-tetraology Alexandrian Quartet are not in vain wear the names of their main characters. The reader can look at the same events - the life of Egyptian Alexandria before and during the Second World War - through the eyes of completely different people.
