Serenity
Ilias Venezis
Translated by Joshua Barley
Cover artwork by Panagiotis Stavropoulos

Serenity follows the journey of a group of Greek refugees who were displaced from their homeland in Asia Minor and settled in the summer of 1923 in a desolate corner of the coast, near Athens. Told in the author’s characteristic sparse, lyrical style and inspired by his own experience of migration, it details their hatred of war, their love for the nature surrounding them, the hostility of their new neighbours and their struggle to find meaning as they adapt to a new life. Though published in 1937, Serenity is a timely evocation of the eternal condition of the refugee, as seen by a writer with a deeply human eye.

God Is My Witness
Makis Tsitas
Translated by Joshua Barley
Cover illustration by Konstantinos Markopoulos

It is the eve of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, and Chrysovalantis—a chronically unsuccessful but enthusiastic employee of the publishing industry—has been put out of work yet again. He begins a vitriolic monologue, taking aim at his many persecutors, from cruel bosses to opportunistic women to embar­rassing, crippling illnesses.

The Great Chimera
M. Karagatsis
Translated by Patricia Felisa Barbeito

Eager to flee the parochialism of her French upbringing, and a painful family past, the young and beautiful Marina falls in love with a seductive Greek sea-captain she meets at the port of Rouen. She follows him to the Aegean island of Syros to begin a new life as a married woman in the home of her formidable mother-in-law. Enchanted by the beauty of her surroundings, and fascinated by her husband's erudite younger brother, she aspires to learn all she can about contemporary Greek culture and live up to the ideals of her classical education.

La grande chimère
M. Karagatsis
Traduit par René Bouchet

Une jeune Française s’éprend d’un capitaine grec rencontré dans le port de sa ville natale, Rouen, l’épouse et va vivre dans son île de Syros. Passionnée par la langue et la littérature de la Grèce ancienne auxquelles elle a consacré ses études, elle découvre sa patrie d’adoption avec un émerveillement qui va peu à peu céder sa place à la désillusion puis au désespoir.
