About this book
*The Revolt of Aphrodite* consists of two dystopian novels by British writer Lawrence Durrell: *Tunc* (1968), and *Nunquam* (1970). The novels are densely allusive and reflect the political tensions of the May 1968 general strike in Paris. They also address the same theme of multiplicity and contingency Durrell developed in *The Alexandria Quartet,* often in a way that shows Durrell's interest in Nietzsche.
