"Tamata" and "For the Price" are two forgotten short stories by Christos Christovasilis, which are not included in his published books. The first one tenderly describes a mother's anguish for her sick child, and the second one portrays the harshness of a society where honor takes precedence.

Christos Christovasilis, although forgotten by our "intellectual" nouveau riche, was a great writer. With these two largely unknown short stories in this edition, not only is his narrative skill confirmed, but also his persistence in a theme that recognizes in his small homeland what will be denied by the motherland of Athens and the destroyer of modernity.
