Reading this "Murderess," you will feel like competent readers, scholars with qualities and prestige. You will feel and experience all the necessary reading stimulation, while simultaneously delving into this pinnacle work of modern Greek prose, the most timeless creation of Papadiamantis, as life itself has highlighted and established it.

This "Murderess" does not merely describe: it penetrates every cell - visible or not - of the universally acknowledged and indeed evergreen Papadiamantis magic. You will discuss, meditate with its creator, and, face to face, you will judge for yourselves everything concerning the true nature of the human being and its environment.

The murderess Fragkogiannou does not merely promise. She is so vivid, perpetual, and transcendent that she awaits you to listen to her and process her within you, with your own perception of innocence and sin, of crime and punishment since the creation of the world. Share her or reject her as her readers, with your own beliefs and values. Papadiamantis' heroine is absolutely receptive to all that her study and understanding entail.
