      In un giorno come tutti gli altri, un orsetto di peluche improvvisamente prende vita. È anziano, spelacchiato, ha un occhio quasi chiuso, sono trent'anni che sta immobile su uno scaffale. La libertà gli dà alla testa, esce, lascia il paese, raggiunge i boschi sul limitare dell'abitato. Lì succede l'inverosimile. L'esercito americano, da mesi alla ricerca di un terrorista che manda bombe in giro per la nazione, lo trova e lo arresta. Sbattuto in carcere, Winkie viene messo sotto processo: l'America deve decidere sul suo nemico pubblico Numero Uno.

      Shimmering with sensuous ecstasy, dark with terror and mystery, this is the extraordinary novel of a "happy trinity of lovers." The diplomat Piers, his sister Sylvie, and the English doctor Bruce are at the heart of Durrell's new creation, as is the medieval walled city of Avignon. And haunting them all is Monsieur, Prince of Darkness, whose ancient satanic rites still flourish in the modern world.
