Roman
by Ioanna Karystiani, Michaela Prinzinger
Kreta – das ist die Heimat Alexis Sorbas‘, die Insel der Männer in ihren schwarzen Hemden und den weißen Stiefeln, aber auch die Insel der Frauen, die ihre Familien zusammenhalten. An diesen Ort seiner Kindheit kehrt Kyriakos Roussias, angesehener Wissenschaftler in den USA, nach fast 30 Jahren zurück und sieht sich mit dem Gesetz der Blutrache konfrontiert: Die Reihe ist nun an ihm, den Tod seines Vaters zu rächen. Kann er sich diesem archaischen Ritual entziehen? Mit jedem Tag seines Aufenthalts wird ihm das ungeschriebene Gesetz der Vendetta vertrauter, und als es zur Begegnung mit dem Mörder seines Vaters kommt, muss er handeln. »Ioanna Karystiani ist ein fesselnder Roman gelungen, der alle Klischees mit Leichtigkeit vermeidet …« Tilman Spreckelsen, »Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung« »Schattenhochzeit ist ein Sozial-Epos und zugleich ein psychologischer Roman über die Suche nach Identität – mit einer leisen Liebesgeschichte.« »Der Spiegel«

Health & Personal DevelopmentMay 2022The Path from Fear to Fearlessness
by IOANNA DIMAKOY
Readers of this book are impressed by the honesty with which the author describes her fears she has experienced. They are also impressed by the gratitude she expresses to the Master Dimitris Kakalidis who helped her to follow the path to fearlessness. Her language is simple and clear. The style is not affected by the scientific data she cites in order to check it against the teaching of Dimitris Kakalidis. She describes her efforts to "conquer" fear, which for three years was a daily problem in her life. This problem was greatly reduced in the first five months after the day she met Dimitris Kakalidis and received his help. The author’s work is an example that may help those who experience similar fears and phobias. The positive results she experienced led her to seek the path of spirituality and continue her progress to fearlessness. She is now convinced that this is the only road that delivers man from daily tribulations and leads to light, love, and freedom.
