Toews, Miriam
Paraxeni Kalosyni [ A Complicated Kindness]
In this stunning coming-of-age novel, award-winner Miriam Toews balances grief and hope in the voice of a witty, beleaguered teenager whose family is shattered by fundamentalist Christianity Half of our family, the better-looking half, is missing, Nomi Nickel tells us at the beginning of A Complicated Kindness. Left alone with her sad, peculiar father, her days are spent piecing together why her mother and sister have disappeared and contemplating her inevitable career at Happy Family Farms, a chicken slaughterhouse on the outskirts of East Village. Not the East Village in New York City where Nomi would prefer to live, but an oppressive town founded by Mennonites on the cold, flat plains of Manitoba, Canada. This darkly funny novel is the world according to the unforgettable Nomi, a bewildered and wry sixteen-year-old trapped in a town governed by fundamentalist religion and in the shattered remains of a family it destroyed. In Nomi"s droll, refreshing voice, we"re told the story of an eccentric, loving family that falls apart as each member lands on a collision course with the only community any of them have ever known. A work of fierce humor and tragedy by a writer who has taken the American market by storm, this searing, tender, comic testament to family love will break your heart." [Canadian author] Book

Green, Peter
Alexandros o Makedonas : O Megas Stratelates Tis Istorias 356-323 p.x.
Until recently, popular biographers and most scholars viewed Alexander the Great as a genius with a plan, a romantic figure pursuing his vision of a united world. His dream was at times characterized as a benevolent interest in the brotherhood of man, sometimes as a brute interest in the exercise of power. Green, a Cambridge-trained classicist who is also a novelist, portrays Alexander as both a complex personality and a single-minded general, a man capable of such diverse expediencies as patricide or the massacre of civilians. Green describes his Alexander as "not only the most brilliant (and ambitious) field commander in history, but also supremely indifferent to all those administrative excellences and idealistic yearnings foisted upon him by later generations, especially those who found the conqueror, tout court, a little hard upon their liberal sensibilities."This biography begins not with one of the universally known incidents of Alexander's life, but with an account of his father, Philip of Macedonia, whose many-territoried empire was the first on the continent of Europe to have an effectively centralized government and military. What Philip and Macedonia had to offer, Alexander made his own, but Philip and Macedonia also made Alexander form an important context for understanding Alexander himself. Yet his origins and training do not fully explain the man. After he was named hegemon of the Hellenic League, many philosophers came to congratulate Alexander, but one was conspicuous by his absence: Diogenes the Cynic, an ascetic who lived in a clay tub.Piqued and curious, Alexander himself visited the philosopher, who, when asked if there was anything Alexander could do for him, made the famous reply, "Don't stand between me and the sun." Alexander's courtiers jeered, but Alexander silenced them: "If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes." This remark was as unexpected in Alexander as it would be in a modern leader. For the general reader, the book, redolent with gritty details and fully aware of Alexander's darker side, offers a gripping tale of Alexander's career. Full backnotes, fourteen maps, and chronological and genealogical tables serve readers with more specialized interests. Book

Papadopoulos, Leuteres (Lefteris) [Samarakis, Antonis]
Einai glentzes, pinei gala : aphegeme
Thodoros Angelopoulos, Alekos Fasianos, Christos Giannaras. Everyone, important in their field. They grow up with Lefteris Papadopoulos in the same neighborhood, go to the same High School, a strict, almost authoritarian school, dominated by a theological director and many - with a few exceptions - philologists who are "tutors". All this at a critical and dangerous period for Greece: shortly after the Occupation and the December Revolution, in the heart of the Civil War, with dozens of dead, every day, on both sides, with executive detachments, abstention from elections, persecution, imprisonment , exiles, Makronisos. It is a shocking -with the hot breath of the experience- narrative, starring the Catholic Schools, with the then "soldiers" Angelopoulos and Giannara, but also the other side of life, which is full of "small revolutions", struggles for survival , love affairs, passions, military invasions, American parties and songs with campers, buffaloes, backeros, pistols and Texas men, who die only from a bullet! The book is an amazing continuation of the story "The old classmates" by Lefteris Papadopoulos, a work that impressed and has made twenty-five editions. And a gift: In "He's having fun, he's drinking milk!" is published as a preface an anecdotal short story by Antonis Samarakis entitled "Fokaias 18", where was the house where Lefteris Papadopoulos lived the first twenty-four years of his lifeStories, memories ,poems, songs and also an unpublished short story by Antonis Samarakis: "Street Fokaias 18" 412p.Owner inscription on ffep. elseFine Book

Ignatiou, Michalis
Troika : O Dromos Tin Katastrophe
The "rescue" of Greece through documents of IMF, the Americans and the European Commission and the tragic responsibilities of Greek politicians. On Saturday, November 21, 2009 five officials of the European Commission, the Eurogroup, the ECB and the Greek Government, accompanied by their staff gathered in the office of Prime Minister of Luxembourg .under the inviolable condition never to disclose .this the secret meeting. . Attended by the head of the ECB Jean-Claude Trichet, Commissioner Joaquim Almunia, the Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou and the governor of the Bank of Greece George Provopoulos. For the secret meeting informed proven source of the Eurogroup, then chaired by Mr. Juncker, and confirmed to me by Mr. Papakonstantinou, who told me that during the "Our measures applied to reduce the 2010 deficit (of course, not 2009). Especially," he said, "the ECB insisted very large reduction ( spoke for 4-5 units). Finally we put the budget reduction of 3.6 units, with additional measures in January were 4 points, "said the then finance minister. That day, Messrs. Juncker, Trichet and Almunia sent in Mr. Papandreou a "mini Memorandum". It was their proposal to end the crisis in the bud. Then Prime Minister never answered them. And Greece was led to destruction . Researching the Greek debt crisis, increasingly concluded that the country had the misfortune to fall into the hands of leaders who have been unable either to understand the dimensions of the crisis that exploded in their hands or to manage it.To write this book I spoke to 139 people: officials of the Greek government, the IMF, the US government, FED, ECB and European Commission. I also had the good fortune to read documents of IMF, the US Embassy in Athens and the European Commission.543p.[7 copies found in WroldCat] Book
