LIFE IN THE TOMB

Παρουσίαση

«Life in the tomb has moments of great literary beauty and of more than one kind of literary power. In 1917, Myrivilis was twenty-five. "Before I entered the trenches I had not the slightest inkling of life's true worth. From now on, however, I shall savour its moments one by one... This... truthful fiction... [makes] one see... It is antiheroic and completely convincing» (Peter Levi),
«[Peter Bien] has turned a Greek masterpiece into something not much less than an English one» (C.M. Woodhouse, Times Literary Supplement).
