Description

A lake at the borders of three countries, Prespa, suddenly finds itself in the spotlight when it is revealed that a dragon inhabits it. The monster becomes the apple of discord among the three countries, which establish research communities on its shores and compete in theories and findings. Each shore - southern, eastern, and western - lives its own dracological dream and nightmare.

"Valley of Mud" is the name of the southern shore, because it rains incessantly there, forcing the researchers to live in the mud. Cunning or dreamers, opportunists or idealists, they study the lake's enigma for twenty years without ever solving it. Unexplained natural phenomena, violent crimes, and mysterious visitors test the endurance of dracological theories and the characters of the protagonists, while on the sidelines of the action, an Alchemist and his assistant experiment in creating the elixir of self-awareness.

Economies collapse, villages become deserted, peoples clash, but the dragon - mythical monster, collective imagination, or product of an alchemical laboratory? - is the only one that seems not to be threatened...

Review this product
  • Was it easy to read?
  • Was it interesting enough?
  • I liked the writing style
  • I would read a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for reading
  • Paper quality
  • Excellent in everything, plot, characters, twists. Ms. Bourazopoulou is rightly considered by many to be the best Greek female author today. Masterpiece!

  • Excellent, I consider Ms. Bourazopoulou the best Greek author at the moment. What can I say first, plot, characters, depth, narration... the whole Trilogy is a masterpiece!

  • Once again, Bourazopoulou is excellent. An excellent, multi-layered book (I'm halfway through the 2nd volume). I continue to be impressed by how cleverly she weaves her plot, as well as the underlying meanings. Don't miss "What Noah's Wife Saw" by the same author.

  • I never thought I would read something like this from a Greek author!! An amazing idea! We are talking about an incredible modern fairy tale with EXCEPTIONAL work from the author in terms of research and structure, an EPIC trilogy (of course you will read ALL three!!!) and meanings on a second and third level.

    Read it unreservedly and you will be transported to three worlds (one in each book) that ... maybe are not so far from our own after all.

  • It keeps you engaged until the end... a masterpiece! What mind and imagination it takes to write such a beautiful book..
