The line that transforms a significant experience within us into a historical event is thin, almost invisible. It does not concern itself with how many years will pass before this happens, it does not completely disconnect one from the other, nor does it idealize either the experience or the historical event.

Review this product
  • Was it easy to read?
  • Was it interesting enough?
  • I liked the writing style
  • I would read a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for reading
  • Paper quality
  • Excellent in everything, plot, characters, twists. Ms. Bourazopoulou is rightly considered by many to be the best Greek female author today. Masterpiece!

  • Excellent, I consider Ms. Bourazopoulou the best Greek author at the moment. What can I say first, plot, characters, depth, narration... the whole Trilogy is a masterpiece!

  • Once again, Bourazopoulou is excellent. An excellent, multi-layered book (I'm halfway through the 2nd volume). I continue to be impressed by how cleverly she weaves her plot, as well as the underlying meanings. Don't miss "What Noah's Wife Saw" by the same author.

  • I never thought I would read something like this from a Greek author!! An amazing idea! We are talking about an incredible modern fairy tale with EXCEPTIONAL work from the author in terms of research and structure, an EPIC trilogy (of course you will read ALL three!!!) and meanings on a second and third level.

    Read it unreservedly and you will be transported to three worlds (one in each book) that ... maybe are not so far from our own after all.

Description & Specifications

The line that transforms a significant experience within us into a historical event is thin, almost invisible. It does not concern itself with how many years will pass before this happens, it does not completely disconnect one from the other, nor does it idealize either the experience or the historical event.

Where the Wolf Lives?, with the dedication "For the friends, from '67 to '74," exhausted from decades, is being reissued exactly fifty years after the emblematic 1974. It balances on that thin, almost invisible line that, willingly or not, is drawn with the closing of half a century.

The literary text remains exactly the same, with the mode of expression I had then as I moved relentlessly towards narrative discourse. Here, closed spaces (student apartment, prisons, parental home) communicate incessantly, comfortingly, with the openness of art, of fairy tales, of dreams, an outing, the streets.

A personal postscript traces my participation in the events I experienced – in History, in other words, as it now becomes autonomous from the experience, forgotten by most, yet continues to demand our empathy, humility, and introspection. Thus, I lived everything together with the friends – those far away yet eternally present.
