Marios Hakkas tells the tale of a man whose soul is divided between rebellion and compliance. Will he choose the uncertainty of raising his fist against the powers that be? Or will he cower in his corner, secure in his settled life? Hakkas’ short story is a wonderful example of political literature. Download the file here and find out more (pdf, 2.6mb).

Nexus radio is a very useful tool which allows you to select from hundreds of radio stations and listen to them online on your PC. So, whichever language you want to practise, Nexus can be the solution for you. There are dozens of Greek radio stations, including regional news stations (from Katerini to Leros) which have mixed programmes of music, news and call-ins.
Nexus is completely free to download and install, and absolutely free from viruses or other bugs which may affect your computer. I have been using it for some time without problems. This is how to download and install it:
Step 1: go to the Nexus download page and click the ‘Download’ button
Step 2: When prompted, select ‘Save’
Step 3: Save this file in the ‘My Documents’ folder, or in another location of your choice
Step 4: When download completes click on ‘Run’ when prompted. Alternatively, you can go to the location you saved the file (i.e. My Documents) and double click on the ‘nexusradio’ file. If asked whether you want to run this program, just say ‘Run’, it’s safe. Windows just likes to be too careful sometimes.
Step 5: Just click ‘next’ and ‘install’ to install Nexus (you need to agree to the terms & conditions as usual). When asked whether you want to install Gisca, you can say no (I recommend saying no) as you don’t need this.
That’s it! You are almost ready. When you run the program for the first time, it asks you to register by bringing up a form. You do not need to put in your real details here as it never checks again.
When you finally open Nexus, you see a station menu by genre. Just click on the genre you want and see the list of stations available. Enjoy! Drop me an email if you have a problem.
