Reading Greece: Richard Pine on Greek-Irish Encounters; Greek Writers; The Eye of the Xenos

From Greek News Agenda

"Not only do non-Greeks want to read the 'great' or 'classic' novels that they already know about (Kazantzakis, in particular) but they are now discovering what a huge wealth of literature exists. And if you look for example at the novels of Konstantinos Theotokis (recently translated by my friend Mark Davies, including Slaves In Their Chains) or the stories of Alexandros Papadiamandis, you realise that although they were written a century ago they are still vibrant indicators of modern Greece and of all societies emerging from the mysteries of the past into the mysteries of tomorrow".
