WOOF WOOF DEAR LORD

ΚΩΔΙΚΟΣ (ISBN):960-04-0913-7

We are sad creatures. I am a prostitute running to seed and my last asset is an idiot son. I am a street-sweeper collapsing under the weight of time and my own obesity. I am a foul-mouthed and repellent daughter desperately in need of a man. Sad creatures. Simple needs. Mr. Dimitriou conjures us into existence in the space of a few lines, and we live, poised between hope and its extinction, for a few brief pages in the harsh world of his pared down prose. Sad creatures, dumb creatures: our spokesman ultimately is a dead or dying dog... woof, woof, dear Lord. Συγγραφέας: Δημητρίου, Σωτήρης Φ., 1955- , πεζογράφος...

WHAT DOES MRS FREEMAN WANT

ΚΩΔΙΚΟΣ (ISBN):960-04-0482-8

Here is the portrait of an extraordinary - yet in many ways typical - English couple, as seen through the eyes of a fascinated, ouzo-guzzling Greek narrator reminiscing on a sundrenched beach. Under his passionate, yet humorous, scrutiny, Mrs. Freeman and her husband come alive with great vividness, all the while retaining intact the mystery of their "otherness." The book is much more than the story of Mrs. Freeman's life and times; it also offers an ironical insight into the confrontation of two cultures, two different ways of looking at the world.

VANISHING POINT

ΚΩΔΙΚΟΣ (ISBN):960-04-0915-3

In this story Aristotelis Nikolaidis, psychiatrist and prolific novelist and poet, relates how a certain individual slowly vanishes from view, a process that becomes strangely contagius. Starting wtith the narrator, who has doubts about his own indetity and even the reality of his thoughts and memories, the contagion spreads to other characters and to the narrator itself. The hero's odyssey is a decent into hell in which reality becomes a snare trapping the wanderer in the state of absolute clandestinity; finally it reaches the very frontiers of paranoia to refect starkly all the incoherence and derisiveness of the late twentieth...

THRACIAN TALES

ΚΩΔΙΚΟΣ (ISBN):9786185048167

Georgios Vizyenos (1849-1896) is one of Greece's best-loved writers. His stories, written in 1883-4, are set in his native Thrace, a corner of Europe where Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey meet. Each title poses an enigma: Where did Yorgis' grandfather travel on his only journey? What was Yorgis' mother's sin? Who was responsible for his brother's murder? At the end of each story the narrator possesses some knowledge that forces him - and his readers - to revise their earlier assumptions, which were based on incomplete knowledge. Because Vizyenos wants us to experience the difficult transition from ignorance to knowledge, he leaves...

THE JOY IS IN THE JOURNEY

ΚΩΔΙΚΟΣ (ISBN):960-04-1988-4

This "healing" book plunges the reader in a world full of sea, colours, light and cool breeze that portray the many facets of Greek life, and at the same time gives simple, every day, apparently unimportant facts their real value. "Whoever derives pleasure from small things always wins the lottery in life", says the aged heroine who, born in the midst of the Smyrna Disaster of 1922, was rescued from the flames and brought to live in one of the Aegean islands where she found a second home and a loving family. As she spins out for us the difficulties she has had to face in her life, she initiates us to the most difficult art of all, the...

The big buisness explotation of the island is represended by Nikias Zavolis, the odious manager of the hotel, where the hero -Dimos Hairetis- is spending his holiday with his exotic half-caste mistress.

THE COURTYARD

ΚΩΔΙΚΟΣ (ISBN):960-04-0914-5

Andreas Franghias' novel "The Courtyard" gives us a picture of Athens not found in the guidebooks. Set in the ruins of post-World War II Greece, the story revolves around the inhabitants of a single courtyard in one of the city's poorer neighborhoods. Officially, the civil war has been over for years, but its devastating effects continue to haunt the survivors as, driven by fear, hunger and greed, they try to wrangle a way out of their poverty and pent-up lives. We follow them as they scheme and pursue their dreams through the backstreets of Monastiraki and the coffeehouses of Omonia Square. There is Eftihis, a street-peddler who...

THE CICADAS

ΚΩΔΙΚΟΣ (ISBN):960-04-1224-3

They're the gang that can't shoot straight: tough-guy wannabes straight out of a Greek-subtitled version of Thieves Like Us, downmarket motorcycle punks (no Hell's angels these), dead-end kids from the urban depths with foulmouthed girlfriends and parents as remote as prosperity. Innocents with attitude. Stamati, the bumbling ringleader, his faithful side-kick Takouli, and Foti, a self-styled strong, silent type who falls for a horny journalist, form a threesome with no past, no future, and a present as insouciant and short-lived as a cicada. Armed with little more than an empty shotgun and plenty of bravado, the three blow their big...

REFUGEE CAPITAL

ΚΩΔΙΚΟΣ (ISBN):960-04-1367-3

Yorgos Ioannou's "Refugee Capital: Thessaloniki Chronicles" shines a harsh, ironic, yet compassionate light on his birthplace, the city of Salonica. The human geography and consciousness of which were indelibly marked by the arrival of hundreds of thousands of refugees from Asia Minor in the 1920's. In the prose pieces and essays that make up Refugee Capital their story is told, often through the eyes of an adolescent narrator recreated by a writer at the peak of his powers. Yorgos Ioannou sets out to rescue the enduring from the clutches of the ephemeral, to reconcile the irreconcilable, to harmonize the discordant. So he does. And...
