«Pagesos i senyors» is the contemporary fiction novel by Theodor Kallifatides, published by Galaxia Gutenberg in paperback (224 pages, in Catalan).
The action takes place in Ialós, a village in the southern Peloponnese, where the arrival first of Italian and then German troops barely alters the daily life of the residents, who live between fear, hunger and resistance to the occupation. Kallifatides portrays with tenderness and humour characters such as the heterodox chaplain, the collaborationist mayor or the socialist teacher, and turns the mothers and grandmothers into the true protagonists.
First of Kallifatides' three novels about his childhood and Greece from the Nazi invasion (1941) to the civil war that ended in 1949. Translated from Swedish by Carolina Moreno Tena.
For readers of literary fiction with an interest in 20th-century Greece and the Second World War.
Theodor Kallifatides is a writer. He is a Greek immigrant to Sweden, and writes in Swedish.
