A book about the unredeemed but also enslaved Cyprus that does not forget.
Cyprus 2024.
Fifty years since the invasion. Body split in half.
Cyprida Aphrodite, the Homeric "anassa of Paphos" is looking for the other half of the homeland that gave birth to her.
The churches in the occupied territories with extinguished candles and muted bells do not celebrate Resurrection. Panagia Chrysospiliotissa, a mosque since 1975, mourns the crucifixion of her island. Half of Cyprus occupied – occupied and its surrender. The refugees of Cyprus trace History. They are still looking for the missing people and their homes in the Occupied Territories. Twenty-one poems by Dimitris Filele take us to the heart of the events and tragic testimonies, to the core of the awake memory, they converse and accompany corresponding texts and narratives of Cypriot and Helladic writers. Beginning with the thirst for freedom and liberation from the shackles of the British dynasty in the 50s, follows the brief hiatus of the fragile Cypriot democracy, but the horizon is darkened by national betrayal and the bloody double invasion of the brutal Attila. The illegal settlement continues, the murders remain unpunished, a part of the Cypriot people is still a refugee in their country. Cyprus, unredeemed but also unenslaved, does not forget.
"I do not forget" is the motto of debt. "I do not forget" until the sun of justification shines.
