Do you like short stories that smell of the sea and are about the original inhabitants of the Greek islands, whom the sea gives, takes, and marks? Nineteen stories by nineteen authors from the late 19th and early 20th centuries are like a series of precious, finely polished stones. The heroes of these stories love passionately, and also die from destructive passions. Life tests them, history seeps through them with exciting, shocking images. In short: the book is, as we like to say, beautiful. Luxury. In a magnificent translation by Klarisa M. Jovanovič.
