The Corfiot writer Konstantinos Theotokis (1872-1923) is one of the greatest Greek novelists and short-story writers. His work deserves to be far better known internationally. I've been reading both Theotokis and Thomas Hardy in recent months, and enjoy them both, but very little of Theotokis' writing has been made available in English.
That is changing, thanks to Mark Davies, whose translation of "Slaves in their Chains" is to be published in September 2010 by Angel Books, London (www.angelclassics.com).
He is currently revising his translation of another of Theotokis' best known works, "Karavelas", as well as some of the Corfu short stories.
We have a treat in store. Congratulations to Mark and to Angel Books.

ReplyDeleteI have been looking for Theotokis translations for ages: this is the closest I came, assuming the link still works. Good news about the publications.
