Συριανά Διηγήματα (Short Stories from Syros)
'Συριανά Διηγήματα (Short Stories from Syros)' Summary
The "Short Stories from Syros" is a collection of satirical short stories by Emmanuel Rhoides that poke fun at the people and customs of the Greek island of Syros. The stories are full of Rhoides's characteristic wit and irony, and explore themes of marriage, death, and the role of animals in society. In "The Psychology of a Syriot Husband," Rhoides skewers the institution of marriage by portraying a husband who is completely dominated by his wife. "The Complaint of the Undertaker" is a darkly humorous tale about a man who is struggling to make a living as an undertaker in Syros. "The Story of a Dog" and "The Story of a Cat" are two charming stories about the relationships between humans and animals. These are just a few of the many stories included in this delightful collection. Rhoides's writing is sharp, witty, and full of insight into human nature.Book Details
