Papaleontiou  Ανθολογία αιγυπτιώτικης λογοτεχνίας και κριτικής (δύο τόμοι) [An Anthology of Literature and Criticism produced by Greeks in Egypt (two vols)] This two-volume Anthology includes verse or prose texts written by Greek authors who were born and/or lived in Egypt either permanently or for long periods of time, as well as by authors who settled there for shorter periods, from the mid-19th century to our day. The texts represent a wide range of linguistic choices throughout this long time span, from archaism to radical demoticism and the use of Modern Greek idioms; they represent also a considerable genre variety (poems, short stories, excerpts from novels and/or plays, testimonies, experimental or more conventional narratives, and samples of literary criticism). More...
