A classic book for every reader! Three short stories by Georgios Vizyinos, from Katharevousa to the modern Greek language.
With his trilogy of "sinful" short stories, My Mother's Sin, Who Was My Brother's Killer and Moscow Selim, Georgios Vizyinos carves a deep incision in modern Greek literature. Not only because he introduces ethnography, which will define the future of Greek literature, but mainly because he is original with the psychological sketching and introspection of his characters. The heroes of his short stories are as real as their stories. His narratives are true stories, in which he also participates, managing at the same time to maintain the distances that allow him to see reality clearly, but also to penetrate the other side of it, which the suffering people experience. The tragic figure of his mother is unable to overcome the negligent death of her daughter, the innocent Kiamil is condemned to live the rest of his life in paranoia and the unfortunate Selim finds redemption only with the arrival of death. Vizyinos makes the most of his scientific psychological knowledge to give his readers a three-dimensional picture of the double face of reality and capture in a unique way the truth of life, which goes far beyond the limits of fiction. Three of the greatest Greek short stories make one classic book and are offered to the modern reading public for the first time in a transcription into the modern Greek language!
