Recenzii
"Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, From The Elephant's Back is an outstanding collection of masterfully crafted essays organized into four major sections: Personal Positions; Ideas About Literature; Eternal Contemporaries; and Spirit of Place: Travel Writings. Very highly recommended for academic library collections, From The Elephant's Back will prove to be engaging, memorable, thought-provoking reading, and ultimately rewarding." -- Midwest Book Review, 20150601
"...buy the book for Durrell's wit, elegance, philosophy, joie de vivre and flaming intelligence." -- Richard Pine -- The Irish Times, 20151121
"A century after Durrell's birth, readers will find Gifford's reconsideration necessary to that century's understanding of itself." CAUT Bulletin, September 2015
"The result is that this edition promises to open up new approaches to interpreting Durrell's more famous work. Durrell fans will treasure the book's selection of rare nonfiction, while scholars of Durrell, modernist literature, anti-authoritarian artists, and the Personalist movement will also appreciate Gifford's fine editorial work." CAUT Bulletin, September 2015
"[T]he interest of this volume does not only lie in the immeasurable wealth of Durrellian archives that are brought to the readers knowledge: it also sketches out the fascinating portrait of an artist engaged in the creative production of his generation so that readers of Shakespeare, Wordsworth, T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, Richard Aldington, Cavafy, and Seferis will discover fascinating pieces of critical analysis where they may least have expected to.... The final part devoted to travel writing will similarly edify and stimulate both Durrells readers and all those who seek to understand the refinements of the genre." Isabelle Keller-Privat, tudes britanniques contemporaines, October 2016
