"The Revolution of 1821" by Dimitris Fotiadis is an ambitious work of our national self-awareness. A milestone in modern Greek historiography, it overturns myths and faithfully serves historical truth. It illuminates the nation's journey from the deep darkness of slavery to the bright dawn of national revival.
Starting from the fall of the City, it covers three hundred seventy-eight years and reaches up to the independence of Greece. The author, weighing his material with the impartial gaze of the historian while approaching it with the passion of a person for whom this history is not dead letter, has the declared goal of engagement.
By bringing to life, that is, the historical moments, the accurate yet creative remodeling of the atmosphere of the time, the rich illustrations, the utilization of eyewitness testimonies, and the use of artistic language, he delivers to the contemporary reader a truly exciting read and to the researcher-analyzer a lasting possession.
The first volume contains the following sections: The Fall of the Byzantine Empire; The Modern Greek Nation; The Enlightenment; The Friendly Society; Ali Pasha; The Revolution in Moldavia-Wallachia.
