6LINGUAL VISUAL DICTIONARY
: Greek * English * German * French * Italian * Spanish
This is the most up-to-date dictionary for learning vocabulary and languages. It includes the languages: Greek, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and it contains more than 32,000 words in every one of the above languages. Examining all the aspects of modern society, it describes a density of objects and articles in realistic 3-dimentional pictures that refer to the daily life and the social relations, as well as to the area of the latest developments of sciences, sports, entertainment, domestic equipment, or objects and areas of work. The dictionary is constituted of three sections: a) the introductive pages, where someone can find a list of subjects and the table of contents, b) the main body of dictionary, where each unit (picture) and its subsections are specified and translated in 6 different languages and c) 6 separate indices, one for each language (Greek, English, German, French, Italian and Spanish). Information is depicted with a detailed strategy of explanation, from the more general totals in the special sub-sections: general subject, title, subtitle, illustration, terminology. For the rendition of each word in each language a high quality and thorough research was performed. And thus, the translated terms were selected carefully, under the supervision of scientists for each specialised sector. The '6lingual Visual Dictionary', with its unique educational spirit, is intended to all the members of a family, to students as well as professionals (translators, academics, teachers, writers, experts on terminology issues, doctors etc.).

CRETE
[Jack Altman]
The Minoan palace of Knossos justly asserts Crete's proud claim as the cradle of European civilisation. Some 4000 years after its creation, the good times are still rolling at the beach resorts of Agios Nikolaos or Elounda to the east or in the Venetian elegance of Rethimnon and Chania to the west. Besides the ancient palaces, the interior offers the challenge of a ramble through Samaria Gorge or a visit to the village weavers of Kritsa or Anogia. This Way Crete gives you a lively and uniquely compact introduction to the island's rich culture and beauty.

VILLA ARIADNE
[Dilys Powell]
The Villa Ariadne is in Crete, close to the Palace of Minos at Knossos, near Herakleion. It was built by the great Sir Arthur Evans soon after he had discovered the Palace, when this archaeological site was his own private property. He needed to be on the spot when he was romantically reconstructing the ruins, so he built the Villa Ariadne and lived there in state, a benevolent autocrat. The author knew him. She has known the villa over 40 years. The next occupant was John Pendlebury, scholar-athlete, Curator of Knossos and became a legend in Crete when he led the guerillas against the invading Germans and died a terrible death at enemy hands. The Germans then took over the Villa, followed by the British. It is now back in the hands of Greece. Dilys Powell brings the story of the villa up-to-date in a book which combines action, observation, and characterisation.

: A Memoir
[Edmund Keeley]
Keeley has had a life-long relationship with Greece, beginning with his childhood, when his father served in the diplomatic corp. This is his memoir of Greece, its life, culture, writers and people. It traces his childhood through the war years, when, unable to return due to the war, he became almost an exile in his home country. As an adult he returns a professor, the translator and friend of the major Greek poets, and marries a Greek woman. "Borderlines" documents a writer's search for meaning in a life influenced by often conflicting cultural values.

LEADEN-SKY YEARS OF WORLD WAR 2
: Diary Notes of a Schoolboy in Occupied Crete
[Kimon Farantakis]
A breath-taking account of personal experiences and memories of a 13-year-old boy who lived the hardships and almost daily atrocities of a full-scale war in Crete -- 1943, 1944. Harsh winters, depleted farmland and an entirely collapsed economy led the whole island to utmost poverty. Living, however, in a healthy society and a family with strong ties kept the writer physically and morally sound, and even helped him to maintain some humour and optimism. This social environment also enabled him to develop crystal-clear judgement on events and the people involved in this tragedy, without resentment or prejudice.

SOME WINE FOR REMEMBRANCE
[Edmund Keeley]
In September 1944, near the village of Hortiati in Macedonian Greece the death of one German soldier in an ambush by a guerrilla unit brought on a Wehrmacht retaliation that resulted in the massacre of one hundred and forty-six villagers, sixty-nine of whom were burned to death in the sealed village bakery, and the total destruction of the village. In this fictionalised account of the atrocity, an American journalist seeks to explore whether a now prominent Austrian statesman played any part in what happened.

SURVIVAL OF 'TITCH' IN HITLER'S GREECE
: A True Story
[Lyn Rowland]
Depression, starvation, the annoyance and discomfort from the fleas, the loss of family and homelessness, the deprivation of childhood life and education, fear and death were a daily regularity throughout the occupation. All this was not a pleasant experience for a ten year old boy, or for anyone for the matter. Fifty years on and the memory of those nightmare years in occupied Greece are still haunting me as if it all happened yesterday. Thousands of Greek children experienced the horrors in many ways. My story however, is one that is very unique. I was forced to grow up before my time and think like a seventeen year old if I was to survive. It has been very painful for me to write my war experiences in the early stages of my life and I had to keep them locked inside me. In the light of what I have found with the help of Sky television when I returned to Athens from England for the first time fifty years later, the decision was brought home to me to continue with writing my autobiography and get it all off my chest.

THIS IS LONDON, GOOD EVENING -- EDO LONDINO, KALISPERA SAS
: The Story of the Greek Section of the BBC 1939-1957
[George Angeloglou]
This book covers some twenty years of life in the Greek Section of the BBC from 1939 to 1957. My life with the BBC started in August 1939 when the Corporation decided to enlarge its foreign services; adding the Greek Section to the German, French, Italian and Arabic services. The narrative is along the lines of a diary that I kept assiduously during the first five years of the war and then again later, for a number of years until I left Bush House in the summer of 1957. – taken from the Introduction by the author.

FISCARDO
: A Village in Kefallonia
[Nikos Bakounakis]
It is hard for someone from Kefallonia to understand Fiscardo and even harder to photograph it. This village, which is situated at the extremity of the Erisos peninsula, seems very distant from the interior. A 'backward world' which until the 1970s took over four hours to reach the capital, Argostoli by bus along a dramatically rough but beautiful road. This book offers a photographic tribute to the village of Fiscardo which offers a insight into a time of transition for the village and includes tales told by the countrymen with the consistency of an ethnologist. Text in English and Greek.

FORTRESSES & CASTLES OF GREEK ISLANDS, VOLUME 3
[Al Paradissis]
This third volume which deals with the fortifications of the Greek islands, brings to an end the publishers' account of all the fortresses and castles of Greece. The book begins with the strongholds of the Ionian Islands, today Greece's westernmost islands. After Corfu and Leukas, Kefalonia, Ithaka, Zakynthos and Cythera the forts of the Cyclades Islands (in the Aegean) are described. The book begins with the southern islands of the group and proceeds northwards to the northern islands. Then it comes to the fortresses on the small islands of the Argolic-Saronic Gulf followed by those in Euboea as always, proceeding from ancient to modern times. There follows an account of the fortresses on the Sporades east and northeast of Euboea and then the islands in the Northern Aegean: Thassos, Lemnos and Sanothrace. Next come the fortresses on the islands of Lesbos, Chios, Samos and Ikaria in the eastern Aegean and the group of the Dodecanese Islands, close to the Shores of Western Asia Minor. The account ends with the ancient and modern strongholds of Crete. Contains a full index of the forts and fortresses which includes each fort's locality and (in brackets) the type of fortress and the period of its construction, as well as the nearest town from which the visitor to the fortress can set out.

OTHER GREECE
[Costas Vasilakis]
This album contains 250 photographs of 180 areas throughout Greece taken by 24 different photographers. The album aims to initiate us into the variety and uniqueness of the Greek landscape. The journey starts from Evros and the Prespa Lakes and continues on to Central Greece, the Aegean, the Ionian Islands and the Peloponnese to end in Crete. This is not a tourist guide, nor does it aspire to provide a full record of all the areas in Greece. It aims to rouse the reader's interest towards discovering those images and getting to know Greece. Text in English and Greek.

WHERE ZEUS BECAME A MAN
[Sabine Ivanovas]
This book is supposed to tell not only about Crete, her awe-inspiring long past or the plenty-fold beauty of her landscape. Above all the author would like to give some impression of the people who live on this island, who are in many ways still perceivably the heirs of their great history and who live in the wonderful nature of this smallest of all continents. On the slopes of Mount Ida shepherds live a life full of traditions between past and present. Their proud bearing makes them look like the princes in Minoan frescoes. How they work, celebrate and design their lives is the main topic of this book. The text is written in Greek, German and English.

END OF ATLANTIS
: New Light on an Old Legend
[J V Luce]
In the 15th century BC, a volcanic eruption of exceptional violence occurred on the island Thera (Santorini), 75 miles north of Crete. Did this mark the destruction of Atlantis, the story of which Plato gave to the world 11 centuries later? Was there ever such an island as he describes, the home of an advanced culture and the centre of a great empire? If so, where was it, when did its civilisation flourish, and why did it disappear? Mr Luce, with the help of archaeologists, vulcanologists, seismologists and oceanographers, suggests the real truth.

HEAVENS ABOVE
: Greek Connection
[Alan Carter]
A simplified approach to the Universe, which accentuates the deep association with Greek mythology. Basic astronomical facts are presented, together with the larger than life mythological characters and events that gave their names to the planets, satellites, asteroids and so many constellations. Time, distance, volume, mass and temperature expressed in universal terms are so incomprehensible that the reader will find out the mythical adventures more believable than the factual calculations. The Greek night sky presents a superb spectacle and it is hoped that this book will provide the ideal accomplishment to the evening relaxation on the balcony when, replete with your taverna meal and a glass of wine to hand, it could be time to light-heartedly view some Greek legends as they unfold in the sky above.
REVIEW: "Alan Carter describes the Universe in a simple informative way" - Greek-o-File, Autumn 2004.

AFFAIR OF THE HEART
[Dilys Powell]
Encompasses a great variety of scence, of character, of encounter. But everything is linked by the story the book has to tell about a single village, Perachora, the background of a famous excavation; and the whole is illuminated by a deep knowledge and by an indestructible affection for the people of Greece.

CHARON'S CHILDREN
[Jacqueline Dempster]
When George Fitrakis is suspected of causing the death of a British woman, he goes on the run from the British Authorities on the island of Crete. Little does he know however that following a motorcycle accident, a chance meeting with Charon, a strange and surly old sailor, would have a devastating effect on his life. When George agrees to accompany Charon on a visit to the island of Spinalonga, a former leper colony, strange supernatural forces are afoot which will change George’s life forever. What he encounters on the island will force him to evaluate his life of exploitation of the weak, vulnerable and dependent, as he himself is now forced to endure an unimaginable new world of hardship and suffering. Despite the conditions he and the community of Spinalonga must accept, the warmth, love, humour and above all, the courage of the people George now lives amongst forces him to reassess his existence, culminating in the ultimate act of selflessness and bravery. But will it be enough to redeem himself in the eyes of the Gods? "Charon's Children" is a blend of contemporary fiction, a story of redemption, coupled with a tale of the supernatural, Greek Mythology, wartime adventure and above all, the heart rending true story of the people who once inhabited the island of Spinalonga. "Charon’s Children" brings a chapter of Spinalonga's history to life and will inspire visitors to her shores to experience the still palpable atmospheric surroundings of an island with a tragic, yet captivating history.

ORIZON
[Mario Routi]
Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined what she was told that day, but at the same time it did make sense of the exceptional talents that she had possessed all her life. And so she finds herself transported from her house in London, to the Land of the White Sun, a low-tech paradise, where the conflict between good and evil is not some abstract idea, but an increasingly harsh and puzzling reality. Populated not just by humans like herself, but also by legendary heroes and mythical creatures, it is a land where war and myth are realities, but where little is as it seems -- and where the future of two worlds is at stake! And with her unique combination of intelligence and sensitivity, Rebecca just may be the one to heal old wounds and forge a brighter future for both the Land of the White Sun and the Earth.

CLASSIC RECIPES FROM THE GREEK ISLAND OF KEFALONIA
[Tassia Dendrinou]
Tassia Dendrinou's book introduces recipes from the Greek cuisine and includes a special feature on Kefalonia, the natural beauty of the island, its traditional produce and local recipes. Apart from the recipes the book includes many photographs of the island, taken by photographer Michael Kouvidis. As the author herself points out in the introduction to the book, "...In my opinion cooking, apart from some basic rules, is all about love, imagination and soul. To me, a home is not a place filled with beautiful furniture and rich carpets, it is a place that is filled with the aromas of cooked food or baked sweets, especially on a holiday, a place where people gather around the fireplace or the table." Text in English and Greek.
REVIEW: "This is one of those coffee table recipe books that is irresistible, a pleasure to peruse..." -- Greek-o-File, October 2003.

TOOLS OF THE ANCIENT GREEKS
: A Kid's Guide to the History & Science of Life in Ancient Greece
[Kris Bordessa]
For ages 9-12. Children will learn all about different civilisations and inventions -- the way they changed history, their evolution over centuries, and their influence on modern times -- through the activities and anecdotes provided in this interactive series. Children discover the origin of ancient Greek theories, such as anatomy, geography, and democracy, and the ways they continue to influence modern-day thinking with the absorbing time lines, sidebars, and activities included in this guide. Profiles of more than two dozen famous historical figures explain how their inventions are used in the modern world and provide insight into the experimental nature of the Aegean people. Fifteen activities allow children to re-create some of the scientific discoveries while learning how to use scientific reasoning, develop theses, and find supporting evidence.
