“Translator and editor Joanna Varvaloukas evolved a text of relatively limited interest into a fascinating read; she “opens” it to the broader world in such a way that the reader follows the course of the Second World War and the events taking place in Greece.She provides, where possible, thorough biographical information regarding almost every person mentioned in the Diary.One thing is certain: the text, in combination with her comments, revive that period, recapture its ambiance, and compose a completely original work.” (extract from the Prologue)Text in Greek
