Description

1919, in the aftermath of the Great War: Anna Kampanari, a girl from a bourgeois family, breaks the conventions of high society and makes her revolution. She leaves her home and Athens to work at the first Greek sanatorium, which has been established in Pelion. There, she becomes the mistress of her fate. Alongside people who experience their personal adventure with dignity, she discovers a new world. She is enchanted by the natural environment and is charmed by the visionary doctor Giorgos Karamanis. With him, she experiences a great romance, with unique and unprecedented experiences. Until Angelos Sikelianos enters her life, the man who will complete her as a person and as a woman, the poet who will take her on a journey of love and dreams, but also of remorse and guilt. A novel with elements of biography, history, medicine, poetry, and testimony, not only of events but also of passions and emotions. A story where nature itself is transformed into life. A triumphant hymn to love, romance, and human will. "A book about tender dreams and the centaur love, the one half of which muses with unconscious wisdom and the other half is a horse that gallops. All this, of course, in Pelion, but also in the light of another sea once in Salamina. I will remember it." (Isidoros Zourgos)
