Il s'agit d'analyser l'impact de la théorie scientifique sur l'œuvre littéraire de Lawrence Durrell, qui se mesure en termes de fusion et de synergie, ainsi que d'étudier le rôle politique de Durrell et d'explorer les rapports qu'entretient son œuvre avec la musique et la poésie. Rédigé en anglais et destiné à un public de spécialistes, cet ouvrage s'insère dans la Collection durrellienne et rassemble des auteurs venant d'horizons et de sensibilités culturelles variés (États-Unis, Canada, Turquie, Grèce, Égypte, Angleterre et France) reflétant l'itinéraire de pensée de Durrell, et conférant à ce travail une dimension internationale.
