Description
Specifications
The first and self-contained volume of a grand cyclical work that falls within the creation of authors such as Zola, Balzac, and Romain Rolland. Karagatsis' trilogy - which includes, following "Kozambasis," "Lost and Gained Blood" and "The Last Days of Michalos" - has been described by the author himself as "the biological and social history of a Greek urban family from 1821 to the present day, placed evolutionarily within the social, national, cultural, spiritual, etc., history of our place within the same time frame."
In this first novel of the cycle, the author of "The Yellow File" brings to life an entire era, the years of the Greek Revolution, with all the asides of classical history, once again projecting - the root and source of the entire conception - the theme around which the entire work revolves: the power of the sexual instinct and its influence on the shaping of individuals and societies.
Karagatsis presents us with a vividly alive central hero, Michalos Rousis, the famous Kozambasis of Kastropyrgos, who becomes a renegade and traitor because he is governed by the feeling of hedonism and because he places above all else in his life the joys that it can give him.
