This honorific volume for the esteemed Professor Ada Katsiki-Gkibalu is a minimal expression of due respect towards her and a rather insufficient showcase of her contributions. It aims to outline her long-standing and multifaceted journey as a university teacher.

Structured in sections that reflect her research interests (Modern Greek Literature, Children's and Young Adult Literature, Theory and Didactics of Literature, Reading Education, etc.), it follows through the studies it hosts almost all aspects of her work and her distinct presence, preserving her personal imprint and acknowledging her scientific contribution to a more thorough study of the literary field she served with faith and selflessness.

Many colleagues, friends, researchers, and intellectuals from various scientific and theoretical fields have willingly responded and participate with their original texts in this volume.
