This present translation brings one of the most beloved works of modernGreek literature to readers of English for the first time in its entirety.Land of Aeolia tells the story of the authors childhood summers in Anatolia before World War I, before the Greek genocide, theGrecoTurkish war, the authors captivity by the Turks, and before the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey in 1922 that led to the permanent loss of his homeland. It is a testament to the power of literature to evoke that which is irrevocably lost.In this story of his childhood, half fiction, half truth, Ilias Venezis describes and affirms a world in which the lives of humans, be they smugglers, saints, brigands, farmers, camel drivers or children, are reflected in nature in her mountains, rivers, trees, eagles, bears, eels, and lizards, and all her manifestations and therefore share an innate affinity with her mysterious world.
