Description

With the displacement of the Armenians from Trebizond in June 1915, a girl who seems to have been painted by God himself takes refuge in the house of a stranger. In Ordu, another girl from a wealthy Greek family prepares for her wedding and struggles to envision her future with a man she barely knows.

The charismatic, religious, and guardian of the morals of the time, Galenos Philonides, is torn between two women; he is tested by his own ideas; he is confronted with savagery and hatred; he is shattered and sets revenge as his life goal against the one who caused him great pain.

In the background of the fiction, Pontus is traced until the population exchange; the assimilation of races with religion as a connecting link and an excuse; the fear, xenophobia, and nationalism sown by the Young Turks and later by the Kemalists; daily life in the early years of the Soviet Union; the persecution of Greeks under Stalin; labor camps in Siberia and the steppes of Kazakhstan with unbearable heat in the summer and severe cold in the winter; the desires, passions, and sufferings of the Pontians.

And all of this, through the complex journey that life writes and the journey that is written about life, appears as flames and movements of the Pontian dance serra, the dance of fire.

On the occasion of the memorial day for the 100 years since the Genocide of the Pontians (1919-2019), the historical novel "Serra: The Soul of Pontus" by Yiannis Kalpouzos is released in a hardcover limited edition of 2,000 copies.
