GREEK text. 191p. 25x29cm. 1,5kg. I was lucky enough to get to know George Mitsakis up close. We spent all the last summer of his life discussing endless hours and days. When he spoke, it was as if the time had stopped. You lost the sense of it now and you were traveling. I was letting him get away with his words and the images they gave birth to magical, almost fairytale places. Other people, other landscapes, other habits, other values. Generally, another sense of life. From Constantinople to Volos, from Thessaloniki to Athens, from the shores of Piraeus to the cosmic shops. An endless journey in dreamy times and places, even if they were difficult. Then I realized that I knew Mitsakis from a very long time, like Tsitsanis, like Hadjidakis, as well as some Italians who never heard their name, but I still have their songs in my memory . "Where George and melama "is sweetly confused with" It was a small boat ", hand in hand with" Crabs "and" Ilissos ". This is where my own, ours Mitsakis unfolds. The one we carried within us, we sang, danced with, loved with his notes and lyrics. It is a sweet memory of the '50s generation, the "Great People" for the younger generations. The tough but creative moments in the difficult years of the Occupation, the Civil War and beyond, our carefree fifties of the 1960s, our anxieties in dictatorship, our lives to this day. George we loved once, but forever. The "poet" of the song and the dream. (Nikos Economou, from edition). Notice: Has increased shipping cost due to weight.
