This book, dedicated to the beautiful and welcoming island of Karpathos, consists of a poetic tribute to the island, two studies, and five book reviews.
The studies include a dramatic and dialectological analysis of the comedy "The Karpathian or the Imaginary Lover" by Sotiris Kourtesis (1862) and the folklore study "The Karpathian Type and Popular Poetry." This study places the case of Karpathos within the broader context of the discourse on the written forms of oral improvised verse.
The book reviews pertain to the monograph by Brandl and Reinsch on the popular music of Karpathos (1992), Alexiadis's book on the folk culture of the Dodecanese (2003), the Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference of Karpathian Folklore (2003), Bernard Vernier's book on Karpathos (Greek edition 2001), the publication of the proceedings of the 4th International Conference of Karpathian Folklore (2016), and the honorary volume by M. Barvounis for Mina Al. Alexiadis (2016).
