A "confessional novel", it is a delicate, sensitive analysis of adolescent youth, with Constantinople and its environs as its immediate landscape but Europe in the era of the Great War as its all-encompassing canvass.

A Greek Diptych: Dionysios Solomos and Alexandros Papadiamantis

Stavrou, Theofanis G.

Weinberg, David R.

Coutelle, Louis

The poems in this volume come from collections published by the poet during the last ten years of his life (1981-91). The theme and tone of these last collections are set by the epilogue from Liturgy below the Acropolis, a long dramatic poem for voices comparable in conception and scope to Odysseus Elytis's Axion Esti. Here, we encounter a sense of impending departure, a feeling of indebtedness to the world and a wish to settle accounts, a need to bid farewell to his friends-symbols: to the sun, the light, the world around, the hallowed Christ-like figure of man, the trees, the flowers, the sea, to his beloved Mount Taygetus and, not least, to poetry itself.

In this volume Friar captures the essence of the thought and spiritual struggle of Nikos Kazantzakis by taking the reader on a fascinating pilgrimage through Kazantzakis' "The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel" and "The Saviors of God: Spiritual Exercises", works which Friar himself has translated into English.

Spiritual Odyssey of Nikos Kazantzakis: A Talk

Friar, K.

The poetry of George Seferis (1900-1971), Greece's first Nobel Prize winner for literature, has been accessible to English and American readers in excellent translations for over two decades. In the present volume, My Brother George Seferis, we have what may be considered as the first biography of Seferis in English. It certainly is the fullest and most sensitive record of the poet's formative years, 1912-1941, written by the one person who knew him best of all - his "little sister" Ioanna, a poet in her own right. The narrative, richly documented with letters which Seferis wrote to his sister throughout this period, concentrates on the young man "born with an open wound of sensitivity with which he faced the difficulties of life."

The two plays, written forty years apart, provide insightful commentary on the kinds of questions which manifest themselves in the whole range of Kazantzakis' work.
