{"product_id":"thanassis-valtinos-thanassis-valtinos-9781942281207","title":"Thanassis Valtinos: Early Works","description":"From a master of modernist literature, Thanassis Valtinos, this volume collects two groundbreaking novellas that altered the trajectory of Greek fiction, together with two autobiographical short stories. Here Valtinos maps the fates of his native Peloponnesian villagers through odysseys of departure and historical upheaval. Set in the early twentieth century, The Book of Andreas Kordopatis records the repeated attempts of the narrator to emigrate to America. Wrought from a firsthand account, it offers a revelatory view of the struggles of the undocumented in that era. The Descent of the Nine is a civil war drama that details the attrition of nine Communist rebels trapped in government-controlled territory. In \"Addiction to Nicotine\" the onset of adolescence interfuses with the last stages of the leftist grip on the countryside. \"Aistratigos\" offers the keenly sketched portrait of a veteran, whose privation, in war and affection, has led to an almost mystical reclusiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thanassis Valtinos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194228120X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942281207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Laertes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Thanassis Valtinos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995929215231,"sku":"9781942281207","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be2417a1-95ff-4866-951b-bd5c1987bb63.jpg?v=1683338694","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thanassis-valtinos-thanassis-valtinos-9781942281207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
