With acute observation of daily activities and loving descriptions of land and sea, Papadiamantis portrays the beauty and harshness of traditional island life. His prose captivates a reader with its rich combination of realism and symbolism, sensuality and mysticism, insularity and universality. Written near the turn of the century, these works speak today in ways both remarkable and familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexandros Papadiamantis \u003c\/b\u003e (1851-1911) was the author of four novels and about one hundred seventy short stories and sketches. \u003cb\u003eElizabeth Constandinides \u003c\/b\u003e was coordinator of the Program in Modern Greek Language and Literature at Queens College of the City of New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9.07 x 5.95 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 19, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47451590754482,"sku":"9780801848469","price":58.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/fd781d5af76bba5dcb9bb6f274a8acc1.webp?v=1778797842","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/tales-from-a-greek-island-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
