Mykonos in the mid-fifties… On the cosmopolitan Aegean island, destination of the international jet-set, secrets and lies that date back to World War II cast their shadows over the classic holiday scenario. The rich shipowner Taxiarchis, his trusted friend Charalambus, Lilian, Taxiarchis’ young and spoiled niece, the restless Daninos who searches for the truth about his father, the shy but resolute Eleni, the provocative Magda Antonescu and the shadowy Italian Marquis, Montebello Calvini give life to a fascinating plot that will keep the reader in suspense from the first page.

Η δίγλωσση αυτή έκδοση περιλαμβάνει τριάντα οχτώ επιλεγμένα ποιήματα του ποιητή Νικηφόρου Βρεττάκου σε μετάφραση του πολυβραβευμένου David Connolly, ο οποίος υπογράφει και μία κατατοπιστική εισαγωγή για τον οικουμενικό ποιητή της αγάπης. O Σπαρτιάτης Νικηφόρος Βρεττάκος (1912-1991) υπήρξε ένας από τους πιο aναγνωρισμένους Έλληνες ποιητές. Μία από τις πλέον χαρισματικές λυρικές φωνές της γενιάς του, θεωρείται ο ποιητής του φωτός και της αλήθειας, ο ποιητής που ύμνησε την ομορφιά της φύσης με απαράμιλλο τρόπο. Πολλαπλοί οι αποδέκτες μιας τέτοιας έκδοσης, καθώς το βιβλίο δεν απευθύνεται μόνο στους ξένους που επισκέπτονται τη χώρα μας και θέλουν να γνωρίσουν μια ακόμα φωνή του ελληνικού πνεύματος. Το βιβλίο αφορά τους μελετητές της νεοελληνικής γραμματείας, Έλληνες και ξένους, τους Έλληνες δεύτερης γενιάς που μεγαλώνουν μακριά από άμεσα ερεθίσματα, καθώς και όλους όσους διδάσκουν ή μαθαίνουν αγγλικά, αλλά και τους αγγλόφωνους που μαθαίνουν ελληνικά. Επίσης αποτελεί ένα πολύ καλό δώρο για αγγλόφωνους φίλους. Το έργο του εξωφύλλου φιλοτέχνησε ειδικά για την έκδοση ο ζωγράφος Παναγιώτης Σταυρόπουλος.

"Nouns" is a collection of 30 prose-poems each of which attempts to define a noun. The collection reads as
a constellation of narratives, a space where the familiar collides with the fantastical to create associations that are as humorous as they are heartbreaking.
Designed to look like a pocket-sized poetry book, "Nouns" brings out a compact yet light feel as it consists of
one kind of paper, inside and out.
Each book is accompanied by a unique postcard from a series of illustrations, eight in total, made by the author Margarita Athanasiou.
The postcards were printed at the
risoprinter of DOLCE in one, two
or three colors and they are all
numbered. Each illustration comes in
an edition of 44.

Often compared during his lifetime to T.S. Eliot, whose work he translated and introduced to Greece, George Seferis is noted for his spare, laconic, dense and allusive verse in the Modernist idiom of the first half of the 20th century. At once intensely Greek and a cosmopolitan of his time (he was a career-diplomat as well as a poet), Seferis better than any other writer expresses the dilemma experienced by his countrymen then and now: how to be at once Greek and modern. The translations that make up this volume are the fruit of more than forty years, and many are published here for the first time. 

One of the greatest of the classic Greek tragedies and a masterpiece of dramatic construction. Catastrophe ensues when King Oedipus discovers he has inadvertently killed his father and married his mother. Masterly use of dramatic irony greatly intensifies impact of agonizing events. Sophocles' finest play, Oedipus Rex ranks as a towering landmark of Western drama.

"When Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis's longtime assistant, Maggie, returns to her ancestral home on Ikaria for her 104-year-old grandmother's funeral, she quickly realizes not only was Yiayia likely murdered, but that a series of other long-lived Ikariots had recently died under the same suspicious circumstances. Back in Athens, Andreas and his chief detective Yianni pursue a smuggling and protection ring embedded in the Greek DEA, and its possible involvement in the assassination of an undercover cop. But then Maggie and Yianni uncover a connection between their respective leads in the elder-killings on Ikaria and the DEA corruption case, and they realize that there are international intrigues far more dangerous at play than anyone had imagined"--
