I'll look for the link when I get home.<br /><br />I read that translation of <i>The Murderess</i> a long time ago, I think, though I remember little of it. His name stuck with me though and reputation of "writer of traditional ways that are or have disappeared" (which I guess is what used to be the big opinion of him, kind of an ethnologist, which I think they touch on in there, too), but that misses the point. It's a living faith and a way of life that he writes about. The loss of that way of life is also, to a degree, a loss of the faith, as well. The more modern we become, the more distractions we allow to be perceived as important. I think he recognized this quite early on. There's such a gentle beauty to his writing.Kevin P.

As for the translations, what I was referring to were the earlier translations: a couple versions of <i>The Murderess</i>, <i>Tales from a Greek Island</i> (published by John Hopkins U), and Sherrard's translation of 'The Seal's Lament', all of which Fr Kamperidis mentions in the intro.<br /><br />Owen> Yes we are.

They're still in process, last I heard.<br /><br />I think the full set of his writings is only three volumes in Greek, and I have a link to those at home, somewhere. I always thought that reading Papadiamandis would be a fine indicator that one is fluent in modern Greek, so I plan to get a set. And I am <i>not</i> conversant in modern Greek at all, which I really need to address.Kevin P.
