LONDON Vintage Alexandria: Photographs of the City 1860 – 1960.
- Using vintage photographs from the second half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth, many from private family albums, Michael Haag brings to life the world of a vanished Alexandria.
The Durrell-Miller Letters, 1935 – 1980.
- In 1935, Lawrence Durrell spotted a copy of Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer left discarded among the litter in a public toilet on Corfu. The young Englishman was electrified by what he read, and he immediately penned a letter to Miller, an American expatriate then living at 18 Villa Seurat in Paris. Thus began The Durrell-Miller Letters, a correspondence that ended only with Miller's death in 1980 — nearly 1,000,000 words later.
Theodore Stephanides: Autumn Gleanings.
- Complete for the first time in Autumn Gleanings are Stephanides’ memoirs of his meetings with Lawrence Durrell in Corfu, Athens, and Egypt, in the years 1935–44, together with his last (and hitherto unpublished) collection of poems.
