BACK COVER
How can a great love change a life, bring people into conflict with their family and community, distance them from their homeland, and ultimately overturn their destiny? How does one grow up in the midst of overwhelming historical events, from World War II and the Occupation, to the persecutions and mass extermination of the Jews?
The novella Mercado, from the Hebrew-Spanish word for one who was ransomed by the Angel of Death, seeks to highlight the depth and timelessness of these questions through the story of a seventeen-year-old Sephardic girl living in the closed Jewish community of Rhodes during the Italian and German occupation. Then, from Marmaris, to war-torn Istanbul and Ashdod, the protagonist searches for traces of her family that have now been lost in Auschwitz, as well as for the threads that compose her new adult self.
Maria Mamaligka was born in Rhodes. She studied chemistry and cinema at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in Athens (NKUA) and in England (UEA). She teaches cinema at the Athens School of Fine Arts. She has published short stories and critical texts on visual arts and cinema in newspapers and magazines.
Four books for children published by Estia are: The Snake-Born Princess and Other Fairy Tales, A Silly Geography, Jealous, Greedy and Other Enigmatic Poems, Dreamy, Disobedient and Other Restless Poems.
