Book Description
Enlarged paperback, 84 pages (2nd ed.2023): English translation of modern Greek poetry, includes an academic review, translator's introduction and 3 Appendices. Glossy colour cover / black & white interior. What is the connection between ancient Greek culture, folk lore, and Greek citizens in the 3rd millennium? The poet, a respected lawyer in Athens, Greece, opens a window for the reader into his inner world. He unfolds his ethics and aesthetics by exploring variations on three themes: a) Insights into moments that seem to be "frozen" in ancient Greek history; b) the musings of a modern-day philosopher and poet; and c) the folk songs, history and folklore of the poet's native Epirus. Poignant and evocative, this poetry (original text written in Greek by Augerinos Andreou, English translation by translator, Connie Stamos) reflects life in the countryside as well as urban living: the rich tapestry that makes up Greece today. The tiller of the times (2nd ed. 2023) and Tracing the times (2nd ed. 2023) are also available as eBooks. Dr Maria Sidiropoulou, Professor of Translation Studies, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens reviews the English translation of the Tiller of the times by Connie Stamos.
the tiller of waters

Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
This spellbinding novel narrates the many-layered recollections of a hallucinating man in devastated Beirut. The desolate, almost surreal, urban landscape is enriched by the unfolding of the family sagas of Niqula Mitri and his beloved Shamsa, the Kurdish maid. Mitri reminisces about his Egyptian mother and his father who came back to settle in Beirut after a long stay in Egypt. Both Mitri and his father are textile merchants and see the world through the code of cloth, from the intimacy of linen, velvet, and silk to the most impersonal of synthetics. Shamsa in turn relates her story, the myriad adventures of her parents and grandparents who moved from Iraqi Kurdistan to Beirut. Haunting scenes of pastoral Kurds are juxtaposed against the sedentary decadence of metropolitan residents. Barakat weaves into her sophisticated narrative shreds of scientific discourse about herbal plants and textile crafts, customs and manners of Arabs, Armenians, and Kurds, mythological figures from ancient Greece, Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, and Arabia, the theosophy of the African Dogons and the medieval Byzantines, and historical accounts of the Crusades in the Holy Land and the silk route to China.

Book Description
Depth: 105...Wriggling like an eel, he forced himself up into the narrow gap he'd created...Rocks scraped and clattered away. A hint of doubt-- Should I be doing this?-- was answered by the calm comfort that pervaded his mind now. Nothing was going to happen...Everything was going to be all right... Welcome to the most dangerous sport on Earth: where cave divers step into murky Florida ponds and end up hundreds of feet beneath the ground, slinking through Swiss-cheese-like rock formations, past strange underground creatures, heading down tunnels that may open into caverns, or lead nowhere at all. Open-water diver and ex-Navy SEAL Tiller Galloway has come to this watery underworld to find out why an old friend died young-- and take one last shot at being a father, a lover, and a friend. But with a woman who is opening up her heart, and a conspiracy closing in around him, Galloway must navigate between lies told aboveground and truths hidden in the depths-- where a violent battle is about to explode... Combining the knife-edged action of Clive Cussler with the heartstopping storytelling power of John D. MacDonald, David Poyer stakes his claim as one of America's most remarkable thriller writers-- and a master of underwater suspense.
