Govas, Panagiotis Christou [Gkovas}
Paradeisia Arcadia : Anazetontas tis Rizes Mas = in Search of our Roots
The author records folk life and village society in his hometown during the period 1940-1980. He describes the material life (organization of production, survival mechanisms of residents, the village market, technical, traditional occupations) and the forms of cooperation and mutual assistance between the villagers. His local knowledge and personal experience of village life helped him to assemble much primary folklore material and record it with the help of informants and villager, providing typical examples of collective memory, showing links to the place of origin and preservation of the rich functional and ritual life of the community.188p. illus, bibligraphy. {3 copies found in WorldCat] Book

Translated to Turkish by Mina Urgan. The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, often known simply as Tom Jones, is a comic novel by English playwright and novelist Henry Fielding. It is both a Bildungsroman and a picaresque novel. It was first published on 28 February 1749 in London, and is among the earliest English prose works to be classified as a novel. It is the earliest novel mentioned by W. Somerset Maugham in his 1948 book Great Novelists and Their Novels among the ten best novels of the world. Tom Jones is generally regarded as Fielding's greatest book and as an influential English novel. Urgan was a Turkish academic, translator, author and socialist politician. She translated works of Thomas Malory (c. 1415-1471), Henry Fielding (1707-1754), Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850), Aldous Huxley (1894-1963), Graham Greene (1904-1991), William Golding (1911-1993), John Galsworthy (1867-1933) and Shakespeare (1564-1616) into Turkish. She was honored with the "Golden Book Award" in 1993. For her work Virginia Woolf, she received the "Sedat Simavi Literature Award" in 1995, and the "Association of People of Letters Honor Award" in 1996. (Wikipedia). First Edition.
