Aristophanes [Varnalis, Kostas Ed] [Kostas Barnales]
Hippeis
Apodos kai scholia Kostas Barnales. The play is a satire on the social and political life of classical Athens during the Peloponnesian War and in this respect it is typical of all the dramatist's early plays. It is unique however in the relatively small number of its characters and this was due to its scurrilous preoccupation with one man, the pro-war populist Cleon 118p. Book

Koutsoudaki,Maria [ED]
Canadian Identity through Literature
"Since Canada's literary tradition is fairly new, it is only natural that there should exist a genuine concern for identity. This sampling of Canadian writing is the result of an attempt to familiarize the reader with Canadian sensibilities in literature and the way the rest of the world perceives this "Canadianism" at the threshold of the twenty-first century. For this I hope that the essays and the literary voices gathered in this publication make an important contribution to our understanding of what defines Canadian identity through literature and the arts. . "Most of the essays and fiction were presented at a conference on 'Canadian identity through literature,' which took place on November 6 and 7, 1998 at Athens University". 110p.{7 copies found in WorldCat] Book

Zei, Alki
Achilles' Fiancee
The scene is Paris, sometime after the 1967 military coup in Greece. Eleni, together with a group of her friends and fellow political exiles, finds herself working as an extra in a French film: The Horror Train. It is not the first time Eleni has been caught up in a deadly drama, nor is it her first ride on a "horror train." As the director waves his arms, shouting directions and re-shouting the sequence, Eleni's mind wanders to her first train ride: "Athens-Piraeus. My first big trip by train. - You're Eleni? I'm Achilles. They don't ask which Achilles. One name is enough." For the rest of her life, Eleni will be "Achilles' Fiancee," fiancee of the guerilla leader, the brave, handsome kapetanios whose code-name is Achilles. In the demonstrations against the German occupiers of Greece, in prison where she waits for a death sentence during the post-war persecution of suspected leftists, in exile in Tashkent where the exiled Greek communists fight amongst themselves, and finally in Paris. But somewhere along the way Eleni becomes an indepentent character with a mind of her own. As she begins to doubt the slogans that she fought for when she was a blind follower of leaders like her fiance. Eleni involves us in her own private world of self-discovery. It is a woman's world, where human warmth and friendships matter more than abstract ideals. The Greek word for a novel is mythistorema, a word that combines "myth" and "history." In her story of a young woman's struggle to survive through an extraordinary period of Greek history Alki Zei has woven the threads of her own quasi-mythical life into the stuff of history. The result is a compelling and beautiful novel that opens a new window on modern Greek history.374p. Book

Valtinos, Thanassis
Data from the Decade of the Sixties
Winner of Greece's National Book Award for Best Novel in 1990 and short-listed for the Aristeion European Literature Prize in 1991. Greece in the 1960s was convulsed by the collision of tradition and cultural transformation...vValtinos assembles voices, stories, and news clips that capture the transformation of Greece, the monarchy giving way to a republic via dictatorship, the industrialization of its agricultural society, and the replacement of arranged marriages with love matches. The many voices in this tour de force coalesce in a bricolage of documents: personal letters between friends and family, news reports, advertisements, and other written ephemera. Together these testimonies illuminate the tumult of 1960s Greece, where generations and values clash and Greek society struggles to adapt. Translation by Jane Assimakopoulos and Stavro Deligiorgos. 280p. Book

Couloumbis, Theodore
Greek Junta Phenomenon : A Professor's Notes
"'Greeces twentieth-century history, not unlike that of a large portion of the rest of Europe, has been marked by frequent wars, economic underdevelopment, deep political fissures, political clientelism, and frequent as well as competing foreign intervention in the country's domestic affairs. In political science terms, the countrys democratic system was less than consolidated, in the sense that it was marked by frequent military intervention in politics. This book reconstructs Greeces melancholy political landscape during the dark years of the colonels dictatorship. The author conducted scores of interviews with prominent political figures (e.g., Constantine Karamanlis, Andreas Papandreou, Panayiotis Kanellopoulos, Constantine Mitsotakis, Mikis Theodorakis, Georgios Mavros, Archbishop Makarios and former King Constantine). He also met with some functionaries representing the Greek junta and with a number of American diplomats. These interviews, recorded over thirty years ago, mirror the attitudes and mentalities of political protagonists of that time and could be treated as primary source material for historians who still need to produce a detached and dispassionate record of those trying times." 344p. index Book

Petrakis,Harry Mark
Hour of the Bell
ENDIn 1821, in the geographically small but culturally and historically rich country of Greece, a revolution began to overturn four terrible centuries of slavery the Greeks had endured under the Ottoman Turks. Harry Mark Petrakis's historical novel The Hour of the Bell recalls the first year of the revolt. Petrakis provides a panoramic view of the conflict through the stories of a variety of characters, including a village priest grief-stricken over the killing of his Turkish neighbors; a guerilla captain leading a band of wild mountain fighters against the Turkish garrisons; the wife of Prince Petrobey of the Mani, embittered by the fighting that takes the lives of her sons; a sea captain commanding the smaller Greek brigs in brilliant forays against the larger Turkish frigates; and a scribe to the legendary General Kolokotronis. Each character provides a defining perspective on the small but fierce conflict that altered the course of European history. " ...tales of barbarity ,of stunning cruelty and heroism, of compassion, love, sacrifice, jealousy, ambition and betrayal-on both sides of the conflict." 359p. Maps on end papers Book
