About Me |
|
| Andreas Karkavítsas, was born 1865 at Lechaina, Elia and died Oct. 24, 1922. He was a novelist and short-story writer whose subject was village life. Karkavítsas studied medicine at Athens and became an army (Navy) doctor. In this capacity he traveled to many islands and villages in the provinces. His short stories tell of the life, traditions, and legends of the villages. He belonged to the National Language Society. He also worked as a journalist in many newspapers. He was the first and the most appreciable delegate of naturalism in greek prose fiction. Only few Greeks have read "Archaiologos" the most significant (and his last, Written in 1904) book which was accused as Anti-Hellenic. Never wrote again... He was banished in Mitilini (1916) for political reasons. |
