A literary collection honoring Greece, its impact and influence as the land of west civilization running back to thousands of years.
At the occasion of the year that Athens was pronounced as the UNESCO world’s book capital, some of the finest contemporary Greek and French authors were gathered together to present original short stories and non-fiction texts. Five Greek and five French authors have been asked to contribute short texts, pointing out each one’s personal special attachment to Greece. Greek authors wrote mostly on identity and the image of the other west comer and French ones were mostly talking about the impact Greece had on them.
The long-standing Greek identity is here collaborating with the contemporary Fiction in order to let the reader approach in many ways the huge impact that this civilization has had on humanity.
Catherine Fragou together with Vera Michalski-Hoffmann are the editors of this title, for which the idea is to add/change some authors for each country the book will be translated to.
