{"product_id":"thracian-tales","title":"Thracian Tales - Georgios Vizyenos","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorgios Vizyenos (1849-1896) is one of Greece’s best-loved writers. His stories, written in 1883-4, are set in his native Thrace, a corner of Europe where Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEach title poses an enigma: Where did Yorgis’ grandfather travel on his only journey? What was Yorgis’ mother’s sin? Who was responsible for his brother’s murder? At the end of each story the narrator possesses some knowledge that forces him – and his readers – to revise their earlier assumptions, which were based on incomplete knowledge. Because Vizyenos wants us to experience the difficult transition from ignorance to knowledge, he leaves us in suspense until the very end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVizyenos’ stories evoke a time when individual Greeks and Turks could share each other’s joys and pains despite the hostile relations between their governments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePages\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Pages\"\u003e144\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Publication Date\"\u003e2015\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Publisher\"\u003eΑΙΩΡΑ \/ AIORA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"ISBN\"\u003e9786185369682\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBinding\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Binding\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Author\"\u003eGeorgios Vizyenos \/ Peter Mackridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Diavazo Greek Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40154014875837,"sku":"Thracian Tales","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/7574\/2397\/files\/thracian-tales-georgios-vizyenos-9071694.jpg?v=1765467734","url":"https:\/\/checkout.diavazo.co.uk\/products\/thracian-tales","provider":"Diavazo Greek Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
