Gourmande, généreuse, emportée et tendre à la fois, Loxandra la Grecque est une véritable figure de Constantinople. Elle élève ses enfants, veille sur son mari, vit en bonne intelligence avec les vendeurs à la criée et entretient avec la petite Vierge de Baloukli un étroit commerce. Les mariages, les deuils, les départs en mer, les festins de retrouvailles aux mille saveurs, les déménagements rythment sa vie bien plus que les événements politiques qui agitent cette fin de XIXe siècle. Chronique d'une famille et chronique d'une ville, le livre de Maria Iordanidou - qui raconte ici la vie de sa propre grand-mère - est une formidable invitation à voyager dans un temps d'enthousiasme et de gaieté dont la guerre - celle de 1914, année de la mort de Loxandra - marque la fin définitive.

Loxandra—una mujer de carácter, indiscreta y rezongona, pero también protectora, generosa y tierna—vive en la bulliciosa y extraordinaria Constantinopla finisecular, cohabitada por griegos, turcos y muchas otras etnias. Trasunto de las heroínas que pueblan las comedias clásicas, Loxandra no sólo lleva las riendas de su propia vida sino que es también el alma de su familia, con la ayuda, claro está, de la virgen de Baluklí. Y así, los matrimonios, los duelos, las tristes despedidas en el puerto de la ciudad, los alegres y sabrosos festines de reencuentro o las mudanzas marcan el ritmo de su vida. Crónica de una familia y de una época, esta vitalista y hermosa novela de María Iordanidu—inspirada en la vida de su abuela—nos transporta a una ciudad dominada por la música, los sabores y los colores, y evoca la frágil felicidad que truncó la guerra. "Loxandra es un canto a la vida ambientado en Constantinopla, seguramente la ciudad más apasionante y más trágica del mundo". Pedro Zarraluki, El País "Espontánea, desmesurada, golosa, desprendida, apasionada y tierna a la vez, la griega Loxandra, protagonista de este libro, es un personaje delicioso". Estrella García, El País Babelia "Una obra impregnada de nostalgia, de humor, de sabor tradicional disperso en miles de anécdotas amables, y narrada con un lenguaje natural y poético a la vez. Todo ello confiere a Loxandra el halo de verosimilitud necesario para que la entendamos como biografía". M. S. Suárez Lafuente, La Nueva España -Cultura "Una magnífica invitación a viajar a una época de entusiasmo y felicidad antes de que sea truncada por la guerra". Qué Leer "Una novela sin duda agarrada a lo originario y deudora de la tradición oral". Fulgencio Argüelles, El Comercio – La Voz de Avilés "Querido lector, no deje de leer esta hermosísima obra de la literatura de todos los tiempos. Le deparará momentos de alegría estética, además de enseñarnos cuestiones del pasado que muchas veces se nos pasan de largo, como si no fuera con nosotros. Y vaya si van con nosotros". Ernesto Ayala-Dip, Qué Leer "Una obra exquisita en la que se apela a los recuerdos entremezclados de otomano, griego, kurdo y armenio". Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Correo Español "Loxandra viene a ser un canto festivo a la grecidad de aquella Constantinopla ya extinta". Javier González-Cotta, Diario de Cádiz "Es de agradecer, a esta gran traductora que es Selma Ancira, las notas y el glosario que incluye al final del libro, muy esclarecedoras para aquellas personas que desconocen por completo todo lo relacionado con Constantinopla (hoy Estambul) finisecular, sus costumbres, sus lugares más significativos, sus términos, tanto gastronomía, como de objetos, bailes, clases sociales, etc. que contribuyen a nuestro enriquecimiento como lectores ávidos por aprender". Cecilia Domínguez Luis, Diario de Avisos "Obra de culto de las letras griegas contemporáneas". Gentleman "Una historia bella, amable, generosa como la propia Loxandra". Expansión

"Quand Loxandra chuchote, ça résonne comme les cloches de Sainte-Sophie. C'est qu'elle a une voix à réveiller les morts, la malheureuse. Elle n'a jamais su la maîtriser. Et s'il n'y avait que sa voix..." Haute en couleur, gourmande, généreuse, truculente, emportée et tendre à la fois, Loxandra la Grecque est une véritable figure de Constantinople. Dans le monde coloré de la ville du XIXe siècle, elle élève ses enfants, veille sur son mari Dimitros, vit en bonne intelligence avec les petits vendeurs à la criée - turcs, mais si différents du sultan maudit qui lui a volé son chat - et entretient avec la petite vierge de Baloukli un étroit commerce. Les mariages, les deuils, les départs en mer, les festins de retrouvailles aux mille saveurs, les déménagements rythment sa vie bien plus que les événements politiques.

The Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) in Asia Minor and the Population Exchange that followed led to the forced displacement of more than 1.5 million people who became entangled in the nation-building processes of both Greece and Turkey. This book examines the memories that shaped Asia Minor refugee identity, focusing on the ways in which these memories continue to reverberate in contemporary Greek culture. It explores how memories of Asia Minor frame wider social debates, foster affective alliances, inform different notions of belonging and provide a toolkit for addressing contemporary concerns. Taking the reader across a wide range of cultural works—history textbooks, comics, theatre, documentary and fiction films, news footage and photography—the book shows how these works have become means for individuals and communities to contribute to the process of history-making. While keeping its focus on present-day Greece, Memories of Asia Minor joins wider global debates over contested pasts, legacies of war and refugeehood.

Rebetiko Worlds invites the reader to share the experience of rebetiko music-making in the city of Thessaloniki today. It aims at representing an ethnographic world made of diverse realities united by the melancholic sounds of rebetiko songs. Rather than a musicological account on rebetiko music, this ethnography is about the human encounters happening in certain rebetiko venues of the Ano Poli area in Thessaloniki. How do people perceive, practice, feel and imagine rebetiko song—a music tradition coming from the beginning of the 20th century—today? What are the worldviews embodied and inspired in the context of the ongoing rebetiko performances? And, how may the exploration of rebetiko revivalist culture convey understandings of broader music-cultural orientations defining contemporary Greek society? This ethnography is primarily interested in knowing contemporary rebetiko culture as a ‘lived experience’. It captures instances of the life-worlds of the people involved in the rebetiko revival, which unravel the ways local traditions are re-defined in the context of the nostalgic re-invention of ‘ethnic’ music in postcolonial times. On this level, the representation of the discourses and aesthetics associated with rebetiko performances today instigate further interpretations of local cultural trends, the visions of ‘our’ future triggered by the mythicized representations of ‘our’ past. Beyond a window to the rebetiko worlds of today, this book recounts the story of an ethnographer engaged in fieldwork ‘at home’. It aims at communicating the dynamics of reflexivity shaping the ethnographic self by proposing an understanding of the fieldwork experience as a ‘special ontology’. In this way, it reveals the various dilemmas, moments of enthusiasm and moments of despair lived in the process of research in an attempt to illuminate the poetics of the subjective cultural knowledge. Rebetiko Worlds incites the reader to share the poetics of ethnographic ‘fiction’ and interpretation and, through this, the gradual ‘making’ of the ethnomusicologist in the field.

The Pure Lover is David Plante’s elegy to his beloved Nikos Stangos, their forty-year life together, and its tragic end. Written in vivid fragments that, like the pieces of a mosaic, come together into a glimmering whole, it shows us both the wild nature of grief and the intimate conversation that is love.
