GreeceDescription:
In 1948, as civil war ravaged Greece, children were abducted and sent to communist "camps" inside the Iron Curtain. Eleni Gatzoyiannis, forty-one, defied the traditions of her small village and the terror of the communist insurgents to arrange for the escape of her three daughters and her son, Nicola. For that act, she was imprisoned, tortured, and executed in cold blood. Nicholas Gage joined his father in Massachusetts at the age of nine and grew up to become a top New York Times investigative reporter, honing his skills with one thought in mind: to return to Greece and uncover the one story ... continue

Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe DE
GermanyDescription:
Den store tragedien om alkymisten og filosofen Faust er en av hjørnesteinenei tysk - og europeisk - litteratur. Det sentrale motivet er pakten Faust har inngått med djevelen: Faust skal få hjelp til å nå alle sine mål, men han skal miste sin sjel til det onde dersom han fristes til å holde fast ved øyeblikket og glemmer sin sannhetssøken og streben etter erkjennelse.

Tempel, Kykladen und Kafenía, Gastfreundschaft und Großfamilie – Klischees über Hellas gibt es mehr, als ein Olivenbaum Früchte trägt.

Set in Syracuse, Sicily, during the Peloponnesian War but told in contemporary Irish dialect, Glorious Exploits follows Lampo and Gelon, best friends since childhood.

Iltatähti, häälaulu by Sapfo FI
Description:
Maailmankirjallisuuden suurimpiin naislyyrikoihin kuuluva kreikkalainen Sapfo eli Lesboksessa noin 630-570 eKr. Henkilönä hänestä on säilynyt niukasti tietoja; todennäköisesti hän oli aatelissukuinen, naimisissa ja ainakin yhden tyttären äiti sekä kuului naisten ja tyttöjen yhteisöön, jossa jumalien palvonnan lisäksi harjoitettiin runoutta ja tanssia. Sapfon lyriikassa, joka on vaikuttanut vahvasti länsimaiseen runouteen, on keskeisintä rakkaus - niin luontoon, elämään kuin kanssaihmisiin.
