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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 196mmItem Length: 130mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 239gAuthor: Andreas KarkavitsasTranslator: Johanna HaninkContributor: Johanna Hanink (Translated by)Genre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
