Out of print - 1979 NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE The bicentennial anniversary of the birth of the modern Greek state offers an opportunity for study, thought and dream. In such a process, Odysseus Elytis’ penetrating thought is invaluable. Read an excerpt here . The one hundred and thirty selected passages from Elytis’ prose writings, included in the book, shape another kind of patriotic discourse. Greece, the history of Hellenism, the Greek language, the Greek sea – the Aegean, Greek nature, Greek art and Greek reality constitute the seven central themes of these writings. Odysseus Elytis clarifies, urges, denounces and offers us Ariadne’s thread for a voyage in the pathways of ideas and sensibilities of our country proceeds; our country, that is, as it was seen and understood by Elytis, who was not afraid to declare himself a Greek “organically, psychologically, sensuously, invincibly!”. _________________________________________________________________________________ Σε επτά ενότητες που δεν είναι αυστηρά χωρισμένες, γιατί εκ των πραγμάτων συχνά διεισδύουν θεματικά η μία στην άλλη, παρουσιάζονται εκατόν τριάντα επιλεγμένα αποσπάσματα πεζού λόγου του Ελύτη: α) η Ελλάδα, β) η ιστορία του ελληνισμού, γ) η ελληνική γλώσσα, δ) η ελληνική θάλασσα – το Αιγαίο, ε) η ελληνική φύση, στ) η ελληνική τέχνη, ζ) η ελληνική πραγματικότητα. Ο Οδυσσέας Ελύτης αποσαφηνίζει, προτρέπει, καταγγέλλει και μας δίνει τον μίτο μιας νοητής περιπλάνησης στα μονοπάτια ιδεών και αισθήσεων της χώρας μας, όπως την είδε και την έζησε ο ίδιος, που δεν φοβήθηκε να δηλώσει Έλληνας «οργανικά, ψυχολογικά, αισθησιακά, ακατανίκητα!».
