Πρόλογος του Δημήτρη Δασκαλόπουλου: Η Αιολική γη γράφεται μέσα στα δύσκολα χρόνια της Κατοχής, σε μια περίοδο δηλαδή ανάπηρης ελευθερίας, ανυπέρβλητων δυσκολιών και ευτελισμού της ανθρώπινης ζωής. Η έως τότε δεκαπενταετής συγγραφική πορεία του Βενέζη είχε επιβεβαιώσει την εικόνα ενός δημιουργού με απολύτως προσωπικό ύφος και με βασική θεματογραφία την τραγικότερη εθνική περιπέτεια του εικοστού αιώνα, τη Μικρασιατική Καταστροφή, την οποία ο Βενέζης εβίωσε με οδυνηρό τρόπο ως αιχμάλωτος στα εργατικά τάγματα της Ανατολής, απ' όπου ελάχιστοι είχαν την τύχη να επιζήσουν.

Το πρόγραμμα αυτό πραγματοποιείται χάρη στη γενναιόδωρη υποστήριξη του Ιδρύματος Σταύρος Νιάρχος (ΙΣΝ).

We are so grateful to Alec P. Karys for sharing his book, Diary of a Soldier in the Asia Minor Campaign, 1919-1921, with a large and lively audience on Saturday morning. Everyone was touched by the story of his father, Pantelis C. Karatasakis, and many connected with his poetry and diary through their own fathers’ and grandfathers’ experiences of the war. We will be posting the discussion on our YouTube channel, but if you are interested in reading the book, it is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Lulu.
