Part memoir and part travelogue, this book adds its own distinctive voice to the chorus of writers of Modern Greek living in the Greek-American diaspora.This unique voice belongs to a tall, blond American woman, a professor of aerospace engineering at the University of California, who met her future Greek-born and raised husband-to-be when she was still a graduate student. This book tells the story of her "journey" toward understanding Greece and its people, and more importantly, how she "became" a Greek woman... at least in spirit. It is a story of her coming to terms with her role as Greek wife and mother, observer and ponderer.The author uses her precise eye for detail and her crystalline memory in the service of her goal. She listens carefully to her husband's family stories to make them her own. She watches her lovable mother-in-law Elpida, to learn how she cooks and how she lives. She observes the differences in customs between Americans and Greeks and vividly illustrates them in her amusing vignettes.This is a book that you read with all of your senses. Its freshness in style allows you to taste, smell, feel, hear and see the written accounts of family, friends, lore and nature.

Excerpt from Greek Vignettes: A Sail in the Greek Seas, Summer of 1877 This little book is a record of a few weeks' travel in Greece last summer. It does not make the least claim to thoroughness; no deep questions of archæology are discussed; only the vivid impressions of the moment are given; and the task of discussing the moral and political regeneration of the modern Greeks is left to more elaborate investigators. The journey was a delightful succession of pictorial surprises; the landscape and the externalities of Greece could alone be noted, and there was no time for discussing Greek parliamentary reform, the subtler aspects of Greek character, or the inner and profounder life of this interesting people. The indulgence of the kindly reader is therefore asked for the many (doubtless) hasty judgments of these pages, the sudden transitions from subject to subject, the use of the present tense, and the constant recurrence of I.

Excerpt from Modern Greek Stories Of the writers whose stories have been selected for this volume of translations, Polylas, Bizyenos, and Papadiamantes are dead; all the others are living. Without exception, they have cultivated other forms of literary expression beside the short story. Most of them are leading figures in the literary world of Modern Greece. It is worthy of note that the writers of the Sin of My Mother and of The Frightened Soul come from Thrace, the original home of the cult of Dionysus and of the Drama, which after almost five hundred years of Turkish misrule is to return to Greece again. Chrono logically, Polylas' Forgiveness is the oldest story in the collection; the most recent is The Frightened Soul, which appeared in the pages of a Greek magazine in Constantinople, started after the occupation of the city by the Allies in 1918.

Herein you will find 12 illustrated stories of the myths and tales of modern Greece. In this volume you will find the Grecian tales of: The Fairy-Hunter Fairy Gardens The Fairy Wife Fairies Of The Waterfall The Fairy Comb A Fairy Wedding The Fairy Ring The Fairies’ Theft The Haunted Ship The Wonder Of Skoupa The First Of May The Fairy Mother In every country there is a place where good wishes come true: where the poor and the lonely are rich in castles and friends: and where sorrowful folk are happy. Here you will hear the birds singing and children laughing, all day long. The trees are full of blossoms and fruit. The sky is always blue, the grass green and soft. Under the trees dwell the fairies, and against the blue sky you will sometimes see the sheen of angels’ wings as the flit by. It is from this place that these children’s stories originate. But beware, some, a few, of these stories also contain sadness. Why? Because these stories are used to teach children the lessons of life, albeit in a more gentle way. So, we invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of Greek Fairy culture not seen in print for over a century; and immerse yourself in the tales and fables of yesteryear made more believable by the 41 pen and ink illustrations by Henriette Reiss. ---------------------------- KEYWORDS-TAGS: Greece, Greek, fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, childrens, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, Fairy Hunter, Fairy Gardens, Fairy Wife, Fairies Of The Waterfall, Fairy Comb, Fairy Wedding, Fairy Ring, Fairies’ Theft, Haunted Ship, Wonder Of Skoupa, First Of May, Fairy Mother
