Alongside his prose works, Alexis Panselinos intermittently engaged with literature, ideology, and the political dimension of the phenomenon of Art.

This volume gathers a selection of articles and essays from 1975 to 1992, which have been published in well-known literary magazines of Athens. Among them, two extensive texts (one dedicated to the poet Mano Eliseiou and one about the prose writer Alexandros Koziás) are published for the first time.

The author’s reflections on his art, as well as on the overall phenomenon of Art, present us with a part of what many call the "artist's workshop," as it reveals the ideas that run through his original creative work and his opinions on figures and matters within the broader realm of Greek intellectualism.

Readers of his books will have the opportunity for a more personal approach to the author with this volume. And those who found his books captivating or interesting will notice a consistency between the ideas and the atmosphere of his literary pages, as well as between the organization of his stories and the nature of the ideology that runs through these essayistic texts, and his thought in general.
