Description & Specifications

1816-1829. Patras, Tripolitsa, Nafplio, Missolonghi…

After Angelis found himself imprisoned in the chicken coop of Sahin Aga, hatred nested in his soul like a venomous snake.

During his explosive yet simultaneously alluring journey, he enters the service of a surly and miserly merchant who sells you “ass-fire” for a lamp. He is surrounded by the leaden cloud of slavery and the humiliation of the Rayas. He mingles with Kerasia, where in her face dreams dive and swim. He encounters local notables, peasants, and comrades-in-arms, who are more than brothers and a wife during battle, while a terrified Turkish boy clings to him.

Along his path are two elders who dissect the motive for everything and the sweet yet poisonous essence of "I", the enticing Aspasia, diabolical strangers, local adventurers, the silently brooding Simeon for thirty-six years, a horseman who saves captive Turkish girls, and the greatest enemy of a free man, fear.

Angelis experiences the grandeur and dark side of the blood-stained twenty-one, shattering myths and revealing buried truths. He embraces the fire of uprising, transmuting savagery into hope, redemption, and sweetness, and shouts: “I want to be no one's Rayas. A Rayas to nothing!”

Patras, Tripolitsa, Nafplio, Messolonghi...

After Angelis found himself imprisoned in Sahin Aga's chicken coop, hatred nested in his soul like a venomous snake.
During his explosive and simultaneously enchanting journey, he enters the service of a grumpy and stingy merchant who sells fireflies for lanterns. He is enveloped by the leaden cloud of slavery and the humiliation of the serfs. He joins forces with Kerasia, where dreams dive and swim in her presence. He encounters landlords, peasants, and comrades-in-arms, who are more than brothers and a woman in the heat of battle, while a frightened Turkish boy clings to him.

On his path, there are two old men who scrutinize the motive for everything, as well as the sweet and poisonous essence of the "ego", the beguiling Aspasia, diabolical strangers, local adventurers, the mute for thirty-six years Simeon, a horseman who rescues captive Turkish women, and the greatest enemy of the free man, fear.
Angelis experiences the grandeur and the dark side of the blood-soaked Twenty-One, shattering myths and revealing buried truths. He embraces the fire of the uprising, transforms savagery into hope, redemption, and sweetness, and loudly declares: "I want to be a slave to no one. A slave to nothing!"

Read an excerpt

Whatever matchmaking took place in the minds of those who danced the face-to-face dance with death on the threshing floor of war, they were united by the will to build a homeland. Even if each did not perceive it in the same way. The seed planted in everyone's body, drawing their blood to sprout, nurtured countless bonds from past times to the present. Let the descendants make the offspring better.

I want whoever bends over my words to find me within my speech. That is why you should write as I tell you or read to you from my goblins, grammarian, without the pedantic flourishes of the learned. Let the people, places, and everything be painted as I understand and feel them. With their hardness, caresses, and vulgarity. Where necessary, I will soften the language myself. Whoever does not match my breath, let them close this book at once. But those who consider my lines as a communion of my soul should know that I see them as my confessors and heartfelt friends.
