Lefkada A journey in time
Fritz Berger
“I carry my memories of Lefkas inside me as images. They are images full of light and shade, shapes and colour, full of people, flowers, trees, hills and the sea. I see the sorrowful eyes of women in smart local dress, I see a café full of men playing backgammon, I taste the aromatic homemade bread of Akrivis and the olives served with it, the spicy cheese, I hear the donkeys, the goats, the sheep, the ceaseless trill of the cicadas everywhere. They are images which remain or which arise only for a short while. Then houses appear which have been damaged by the earthquake, a cold night and the old lady, Arsenia sat alone in front of the fire.”
Bilingual (Greek – English)
Lefkada, Peoples and Places
Fritz Berger
With touching photographs, Fritz Berger takes us to the Lefkas of the past - to places, people and their work. The pictures show a harsh, frugal life photographed with respect and poetic charm - a time not so long ago and yet lost forever.
Wilhelm Dorpfeld's Lefkada 1891-1913
N. Thermos
Today, about a hundred years after they were taken, one is struck by these photographs\' high standard of artistic quality and accuracy of detail. Dorpfeld nearly always featured human figures in them, to give a better impression of dimensions and proportions.
They are therefore, whether consciously or accidentally, contributions to the technique of illustration, which became a tradition of popularity, utilizing the theme of vestiges of antiquity in art, since all the photographs reflect the romantic concept of communion between mankind and nature, on a background with the grandeur of ancient ruins, mute testimony to our civilization brought to light by the archaeologist's pickaxe.
Small Pieces of Truth
Hara Saiti
Is there a heaven for old donkeys? What is the relation of Plato with modern art? How can a seed transform into an angel? Who feeds the two wolves in our soul? Why Santa Clause is the anarchist of love? What is the secret in the “Christ of Saint John of the Cross?”of Salvador Dali? Why is smoking a way of popular meditation? Small pieces of truth about art and life, about the environment and history. Small, in order to give answers and big, in order to fit the magic moments. Such moments, that make you live with today, without having nothing and without nothing missing...
Authentic Greek Cooking
Evie Voutsina
"The dishes of Greek cookery, in particular those that constitute its identity, are largely unknown to the broader public. This is not the book in which to find the recipes usually contained in such publications, such as moussaka, stuffed vegetables or horiatiki salad, mainly because they are already well known and almost identified with a tourist¢s perception of Greek cuisine.From the vast wealth of recipes I have recorded in the systematic research I have been conducting over the past fourteen years all over the country, I selected (with great difficulty, I have to admit) those presented in this book for their quality of taste as well as for what I consider to be their representativeness of the identity of Greek food. I call them authentic because they are not my own recipes, they were not concocted by myself and are transcribed exactly as I wrote them down. Wherever I have added something it is specifically mentioned in the introduction to the recipe. I have tried and tested them, cooking them over and over again, so that I am sure you will have no difficulty in making them."
