‎<p><em><strong>The Correspondence of Hieromonk Chrysanthos Syropoulos 1755-1773 - A Contribution to the Study of Orthodox Monasticism in the Ionian Islands Under Venetian Rule</strong></em></p><p>In greek. Soft cover 21 cm 256 pp. In the Archives of the Platytera Monastery at Corfu are kept the letters the founder and abbot of the Monastery Hieromonk Chrysanthos Syropoulos had exchanged with members of the Delladetsima house of Cephallenia island covering the period from 1755 to 1773. A systematic presentation of these letters is the content of this book. Although limited in their recipients the letters are very interesting since they outline the portrait of an important person in the Ionian area revealing his theological thought and pastoral practice. In addition they are historically important as far as it concerns the history of Corfu in the Venetian context of the era.</p><p>=========================================================</p> Karavias paperback‎

‎God's Snake‎

‎Set amid the arid landscape and stony resentments of Greece in the aftermath of its bloody civil war, this electrifying novel unfolds a series of interconnecting modern-day fables about childhood and family, love and betrayal. God's Snake is the story of the inventive, courageous Anna, a young girl who has inherited both the skepticism of classical Athens and the fierce stoicism of Sparta. It is also the story of Anna's parents: her mother, a woman as remote as she is seductive, and her father, a misogynist army officer who, when Anna cries, tells her, "we are not born to be comforted." As Anna picks her way through this emotional minefield, she encounters people and animals that possess the revelatory powers of figures in a dream: the snakes her father's adjutant kills as emissaries of the Devil, a poetry-loving general; a haunted girl whose mother dies of tuberculosis; a frozen crow that miraculously comes back to life, God's Snake is a work filled with passion, magic, and terror, conceived by a novelist of visionary authority 252p.
