This is a moving and poetic collection of inter-woven tales about the lives and loves of a Greek village. "Cavafy's Stone", written by master storyteller and award-winning novelist Harry Mark Petrakis, centres round the inhabitants of the village of Fanaron in central Greece. The interwoven and tangled tales of love, hate, vengeance and despair - at once tragic, moving, and poetic - create a microcosm of the world at large. The much-praised (see below) storytelling craft of Harry Mark Petrakis is poignantly and skilfully evidenced in these tales taking place in a land where three of the world's four great tragedians once wrote their plays.
