More than six hundred portraits of literary figures make up this book. It is an anthology of poets, prose writers, essayists, historians (as well as artists) whose works are primarily included in the relevant books of primary and secondary education.

This work is an essential tool for educators and especially for students, as it provides reliable information about Greek and foreign authors. It also includes every recent detail concerning the life and work of these literary creators, allowing the reader to form a comprehensive picture of their contribution to the field of letters and, more broadly, to culture.
