Alexandria. During his lifetime he travelled through Europe, Egypt
and India, wrote six novels, two volumes of short stories, two
collections of essays, two biographies and a libretto for Britten's
opera Billy Budd, declined a knighthood, was made a member of the
Order of Merit, and died at the age of ninety-one.
