The revolution of 1821 and a fighter who became a book!
The adventures of the life of an anti-hero, with the central axis of reference being the massacre of the inhabitants of Chios in 1822, an event that shocked the entire civilized world and gave a significant impetus to the wave of philhellenism.
With a realistic eye and simple language, the historical reality flows through the literary text, which objectively illuminates the dark sides of the days of glory as well as civil unrest.
Driven by a fixed vision and the sole purpose of a better future with social justice, a merchant stands against the Ottoman Empire, seeking first and foremost the safety of his family. With a clear love for the country and its values, with respect for its people, he carved out his own ideas, which were to become indelible ideals of a devastated place.
The inspired work of Dimitris Vikelas who charted a new course in literature, for the first time in the modern Greek language!
