Antonis Samarakis (1919-2003) was one of the most prominent writers of post-war Greek literature. Known for his dark and often pessimistic style, which often expressed his concern about his country’s youth, Samarakis produced fine samples of Greek literature.
Here we have some short stories from the Hope Wanted (Ζητείται Ελπίς) collection, which deals with issues of social alienation, exclusion, but also class and society. Download Ο Ξανθός Ιππότης here and Η Σαρξ here. Read Samarakis’ Guardian obituary here. Order the book here.
