"Does she love virtue? No."
Among the many and important things bequeathed to us by the greatest of our prose writers, Alexandros Papadiamantis, is also his enlightened political thought, so current, as if he himself were among us.
This legacy, as a single and indivisible legacy, is captured with great respect by his fellow author, Giorgos Sanidas, in this book.
A legacy as priceless as the knowledge, acumen, sincerity and honesty of Mr. Alexander, which led him not only to a complete diagnosis of the pathologies of the political system, but also to the search for their treatment, exceeding the debt of art, and this demonstrates his lively interest in the commons.
Our eternal "poor saint of letters", with his life and work, stood firmly against all forms of political, economic and religious authority. Perhaps that is why he is so loved by the people, of whom he was an integral part, although he was never given to them, just as he was not given to himself.
"How long will we be uncharacteristic Greeks?"
