Homage to Byzantium

The Life and Work of Nikos Gabriel Pentzikis
Περιγραφή

Nikos Gabriel Pentzikis, a pioneering and controversial modern Greek writer, was born in 1908 in Thessaloniki, where he still lives and works as a prose writer, poet, critic, and painter. Even though a member of the Greek literary “Generation of the Thirties” (he published his first novel, Andhreas Dhimakoudhis, in 1935), he is above all a Thessalonian. His native city, or “Mother” Thessaloniki as he calls it, with its rich cultural heritage, especially the Byzantine component, left its mark on his life and work. In his style and choice of subject matter, Pentzikis is eclectic as well as iconoclastic, with themes and concerns ranging all the way from Byzantium to Joyce and Eliot. His tone is decidedly religious—a blend of Byzantine Orthodoxy, myth and mysticism, and his own unique perception of everyday life and the universe. George Thaniel’s careful study analyzes Pentzikis’s personality, the influences that shaped his style, and above all his works, large excerpts of which are translated into English for the first time. The volume should be useful to both scholars and general readers interested in modern Greek culture. It should be of special value to neohellenists concentrating on modern Greek literature, to students of comparative literature, and to historians.
