Is Papadiamantis relevant today? We posed this question to the philologist and scholar of Papadiamantis, Vasiliki D. Lampropoulou, who wrote the Introduction to the book: There is an indefinable quality that makes Papadiamantis timelessly relevant, a secret umbilical cord that firmly connects us to him, even more so in our days.

He invites us to find there...

  • A true little gem of Greek literature. Four short stories that can be read in a short time, but leave an impression that stays with you for a long time. With Papadiamantis' familiar sensitivity and deep humanity, the book captures feelings, images, and thoughts in a simple yet striking way. Small in length, but great in substance, it is one of those readings that return to your memory again and again.

Description & Specifications

Is Papadiamantis relevant today? We posed this question to the philologist and scholar of Papadiamantis, Vasiliki D. Lampropoulou, who wrote the Introduction to the book: There is an indefinable quality that makes Papadiamantis timelessly relevant, a secret umbilical cord that firmly connects us to him, even more so in our days.

He invites us to find there [in his works] a stable axis of life, to find the meaning that counters the void and the sense of futility of existence. Thus, he becomes a comforting voice within a hostile universe, reassuring us about the uncertainty of life and the great mystery of death. He calls for reconnection with our deeper self, on both a personal and collective level.

In his work, gentleness and understanding for his heroes—and by extension for the sufferings of the human soul—are consistently present. This perhaps explains the comforting power of his words. The reader perceives it intuitively when immersed in the world of his characters, ordinary everyday people, sinners, saints, or madmen.
