A landmark selection of the works one of the greatest Greek writers
of the twentieth century Stripped of their ancestral lands and
persecuted by other proud dynasties, the once illustrious
Eumorphopoulos family have been brought low. But when their rivals
begin to falter, two Eumorphopoulos brothers, Aristodemus and
Dimitrakis, resolve to restore their line's ancient glory. Yet they
disagree about the best path forward: do they look to the ancient
past - to long-lost language and culture - or to the ideology and
technology of the present. . . The Archeologist, Andreas
Karkavitsas' masterpiece, is at once a powerful allegory for the
questions facing Greek nationalism at the turn of the century, as
well as a vision of Europe that, conceived on the precipice of the
First World War, now resounds with tragedy. Also included in this
edition are a selection of 'sea tales' - folk stories told to
Karakvitas by sailors, fishermen and sponge-divers during his
travels in the Mediterranean. Staples of Greek literature, these
four sea stories are considered some of Karakvitsas' greatest
achievements.
