[{"id":82940,"title":"The Isles of Greece","subtitle":null,"description":"Demetrios Capetanakis was born in Smyrna in 1912, twelve years after the Greek poet, George Seferis, was born in the same city. Seferis himself is reticent about his younger compatriot. Perhaps this is not accidental. Seferis on his own confession had \"nο idea about philosophical positions\". Capetanakis was a philosopher in the true sense of the word: a lover of wisdom. Before he came to England in 1939 he had received his doctorate in philosophy from Heidelberg University, and had written, in Greek, various philosophical studies, notably , \"The struggle of the solitary soul and the mythology of beauty\". Before he died, in London, in 1944, he had written, in English, several essays οη philosophical and literary themes, and had intended to write others, among them one οn Plato and another οn Kierkegaard. He felt that he had something οf significance to say about both οf them. Alas, he left nothing in a form that could be published. But in another sense, what he had to say he said through his poetry. Although he knew that, in his own words, \"poetry means language -the inmost essence οf language\", he also knew that unless the language expresses a meaning it will not be poetry. His Ianguage was the vehicle οf his thought, his poems are metaphysical poems. And their language is English, not Greek. Ιη the space οf a few years -he knew little English when he first came to England- he had achieved such mastery οf the English language that he was able to pack the intensity οf his thought into the four-Iine five-beat stanza οf English verse. It is fulsome to make claims for poems beyond those which the poems make for themselves. Capetanakis' poems were written close οn half a century ago. The best οf them, and this in the end may mean nο more than four or five, have not dated, or lost any of that strange, concentrated power of which Edith Sitwell speaks in her introduction. They have withstood the test of time, and will ensure for their author a place among the few poets who in the twentieth century have made a lasting contribution to the rich heritage of English poetry.

Like the blues, the rembetika songs were the soul music of a group of people who felt themselves to be outside the mainstream of society , who developed their own slang and their own forms of expression. \"Road to rembetika\" is the first book in English to attempt a general survey of the world of the \"rembets\", who smoked hashish while they played the bouzouki and danced the passionate \"zembekiko\" to release their emotions. It is an enthusiastic introduction to the subject, written by an Australian musician who first came to Greece in 1965 and has been interested in Greek music ever since. Gail Holst describes her own initiation into rembetika, outlines its historical and sociological background, its musical characteristics and instrumentation. The second part of the book is a collection of rembetika songs translated into English. The text is illustrated with photographs of the period, musical examples and original manuscripts of the songs. \u003cbr\u003e","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b84969.jpg","isbn":"960-7120-07-8","isbn13":"978-960-7120-07-6","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":{"id":5605,"name":"The Romiosyni Series","books_count":13,"tsearch_vector":"'romiosyni' 'series' 'the'","created_at":"2017-04-13T01:40:03.846+03:00","updated_at":"2017-04-13T01:40:03.846+03:00"},"pages":181,"publication_year":1994,"publication_place":"Λίμνη Ευβοίας","price":"11.0","price_updated_at":"2009-06-15","cover_type":"Μαλακό εξώφυλλο","availability":"Κυκλοφορεί","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":null,"publisher_id":1194,"extra":null,"biblionet_id":84969,"url":"https://bibliography.gr/books/road-to-rembetika.json"},{"id":82942,"title":"Church, Papacy and Schism","subtitle":"A Theological Enquiry","description":"The union of the churches is one of the crucial issues of our time.

Greece is not and never has been a lost paradise or a haνen for tourists or an object of study , and those who approach her as if she were any of these will always fail to make any real contact with her. For to achieve this it is not enough to act in the manner of those who singly οr in droves are to be seen pouring exhaustively and exhaustingly over the Greek landscape, guide-book or notebook in one hand, camera οr tape-measure in the other, hurrying from site to site, from island to island, pausing here to observe the niceness of the view, there the short- comings of the food οr drainage, elsewhere how graced with οr delight- fully free from western virtues the natives are; for this is merely an avoidance of experience οr understanding. He who would wish for these must have a more receptive and unhurried kind of temperament, one that is able to let things be what they are and to express their own natures rather than serve as the raw material for some purpose οr other, be it only one's own pleasure. He must have sought out not the past but the living fate of Greece, which is not a doom but a destiny, a process rather in which past and present blend and fuse, in which nature and man and something more than man participate: a process difficult, baffling, enigmatic, with its element of magic, its element of tragedy, working itself out in a landscape of bare hills and insatiable sea, in the miraculous cruetly of the summer sun, in the long generations of the lives of the Greek people. The essays in this book are an attempt, not indeed to define this destiny or this process (for that is impossible), but to indicate, through the lives and writings of Greeks themselves, something of their quality, as well as of the complexity of the forces -historical, cultural, social- which have helped to shape them\".\u003cbr\u003e","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b84964.jpg","isbn":null,"isbn13":null,"ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":null,"pages":128,"publication_year":1978,"publication_place":"Λίμνη Ευβοίας","price":"15.0","price_updated_at":null,"cover_type":"Σκληρό εξώφυλλο","availability":"Κυκλοφορεί","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":null,"publisher_id":1194,"extra":null,"biblionet_id":84964,"url":"https://bibliography.gr/books/the-wound-of-greece.json"},{"id":82911,"title":"Christianity and Eros","subtitle":"Essays on the Theme of Sexual Love","description":"In spite of the fact that marriage is recognized as a sacrament by the Church, the attitude of Christian thought towards the sexual relationship and its spiritualizing potentialities has been in practice singularly limited and negative.

This therapy is bodily, visceral, full of colour and of darkness. The death of his friend who spent his last creative energies painting variations of dragon-slaying Saint George on his regal horse triggers in Kamperidis an exuberant litany of associations, a delicate interlace linking pagan and Christian, Germanic and Greek, spiritual heroes and evil monsters. Kamperidis makes us all part of the interlace, for it is precisely through awareness of our interconnected nature that the therapy can begin to work.
