These experiential stories are not fairy tales. They are the myth we all lived, the dream we all sought, the sorrows that bring redemption, the true and deeply human life. Through these narratives, we discover our own neighborhood, our own childhood and adolescent steps, the values that spiritually nurtured us. Consider it the book of the feelings of the modern Greek. Who would not read it and reflect, dream, and shed tears? Its aim is not to shock, but to offer a comforting caress in our turbulent times and soften our hearts. It is an unusual book.
