Winner of Greece's National Book Award for Best Novel in 1990 and short-listed for the Aristeion European Literature Prize in 1991. Greece in the 1960s was convulsed by the collision of tradition and cultural transformation...vValtinos assembles voices, stories, and news clips that capture the transformation of Greece, the monarchy giving way to a republic via dictatorship, the industrialization of its agricultural society, and the replacement of arranged marriages with love matches. The many voices in this tour de force coalesce in a bricolage of documents: personal letters between friends and family, news reports, advertisements, and other written ephemera. Together these testimonies illuminate the tumult of 1960s Greece, where generations and values clash and Greek society struggles to adapt. Translation by Jane Assimakopoulos and Stavro Deligiorgos. 280p.. Book. Book Condition: New. Binding: Soft cover Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
