The book "37 Interviews of Odysseas Elytis (1942-1992)" includes interviews with the great Greek poet, accompanied by an audio document from the press conference held on October 19, 1979, at the "Grande Bretagne" hotel to announce his Nobel Prize in Literature award.
Odysseas Elytis notably states: "[...] one wonders: what are we fighting for day and night locked in our workshops? We are fighting for nothing, which, however, is everything..." This collection includes interviews from various magazines, such as "Bouquet," "Aegean Letters," "I Vradyni," and others, offering an in-depth look into the poet's way of thinking and expression.
The interviews cover topics such as poetic creation, art, and Greek identity, with Elytis expressing his views on the malaise of Greek life, the independence of small nations, and the quality of art.
The collection is a retrospective on the life and work of Odysseas Elytis, through the voices that shaped him and bid farewell to his era, marked by the social and political reality that Greece is experiencing.
A note from the editor and an index of main names and titles complete the publication, providing a comprehensive and analytical approach to Elytis's work.
