Five stops Makis Tsitas The monologue of a woman who lived thirty years of her life moving between the safety of the same five bus stops: from home to work and back again. Tasoula had her whole life ahead of her, but Theofilos’ love closed all of the doors. Yet she found ways to open windows: She studied, she worked, she raised two kids all on her own, while Theofilos was absent for the important things and always cruel to everyone. A story written with love about the countless women who could have led a better life but followed the sense of duty, consciously paying the price. A saint and a sinner both Kostas Akrivos A man grows up, lives and dies without never knowing who was his father: Georgios Karaiskakis. Another man will spend his whole life loving the wrong man as his father. Their paths will cross amid the fights and sacrifices of the 1821 Greek revolution.

A highly acclaimed author, he has published novels, short stories and anthologies. His short stories have been translated into Italian and Dutch.
