George Theotokas was a leading political thinker and writer of the 1930s generation. He was the first to persistently advocate for Greece's European course and the need for its commitment to the West. In this context, he viewed the revival of the Cyprus issue and the confrontation with Britain negatively.
The overview of his relationships with Cyprus is explored through his political and intellectual journey. His connections with Evangelos Louizos, the host of Seferis and Elytis in Cyprus, with Loukis Akritas, and with Emilios Hatzichristos, with whom he had been rivals in the field of Greek theater for two decades, are examined.
His centrist ideological trajectory, his admiration for Georgios Papandreou, and his involvement in politics are traced through his interventions on the Cyprus issue and his positions regarding the newly formed Republic of Cyprus. He anxiously followed the developments in Greece and Cyprus, especially after the constitutional involvement and the coup.
The book includes an extensive chronology of George Theotokas's life and work as an appendix, allowing for a better grasp and understanding of his positions and views.
