I was wondering if there was any relationship between Alexander Papadiamandis and Apostolos Makrakis. Both seemed to be fighting the westernizing and corrupting influence in 19th C. Greek society. Was Papadimandis widely read and accepted by both the traditionalist and modernists? Makrakis ran afoul of both because he despised the secular/freemason ideas of the modernists, but he also introduced some new understandings of the tiune nature of man: body, soul and spirit as opposed to the more accepted nature of man: body and spirit. Do any of Papadiamandis' stories expound a theological point of view as well as the "slice of life" or sacramentalist type you mention? Again thank you and Ochlophobist for sharing these wonderful stories. I will be purchasing a copy for myself soon.<br />Yours, Tom S., Norwalk, CTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-49729612236168103602009-07-28T13:49:43.004-05:002009-07-28T13:49:43.004-05:00Blue> Actually, it was published by the Institu...Blue> Actually, it was published by the Institute for Byzantine & Modern Greek Studies in Belmont, MA, from whom, thankfully, it's still available for $12!<br /><br />Sorry, I should have linked to it in the post.

I find new things turn up if I switch languages.<br /><br />I think one can find a better image of this printed in Cavarnos's wonderful little book, <i>Meetings With Kontoglou</i>. Unfortunately, I gave my own copy away and it's been many years since I've seen it!Aaron Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775589009145031773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-53043265050239613802009-07-24T01:12:27.111-05:002009-07-24T01:12:27.111-05:00Very nice, Aaaron!

It's just perfect. But then so are the others!<br /><br />Where on earth did you find that Kontoglu drawing of Papadiamandis?! Very, very cool!Kevin P.
