Summary:

This unique anthology aims to prove that there is much more to Greek literature than Zorba. It provides a representative selection of the best Greek prose and verse from Greece's independence in 1821. Introductory notes by the editor on each writer introduce the reader to a distinctive body of work, much of which has never before appeared in book form.
