In the “Wanderings of an Artist”, the protagonist is the puppeteer Giannis from Amfilochia and the title sets the scene. He is an artist scorned by some puppeteers; a restless spirit, wandering the land like another Odysseus. With one difference: Odysseus seeks his Ithaca in the unknown, while Giannis leaves his home, Ithaca, and goes into the unknown. But Giannis’ path is not smooth. On the contrary, it is tough, difficult, and full of obstacles. And his end, the inevitable course towards Lake Acherousia, following the law of biological deterioration. But we must not forget something important. As the puppeteers wander the land, they find primary elements of folk culture and local verbal idioms and incorporate them into their art, making their work richer and fuller.The narration in the novel “A Rebel’s Dreams” is in the first singular person, as a peculiar autobiography of another puppeteer, unwinding the skein of his life, taking us on a journey through historical events into the political-social dimension of Karagiozis, who, at this point, has already assumed his definitive form as a political being. He is a rebel, unruly and insubordinate to any power. Here, in the narrative of the Rebel, there is a metaphysical originality, an autobiography of the hero, extending over time, beyond his biological presence in this world. He begins before his birth, with his father’s story. He then describes his life and innovates, continuing his narration after his death when, as a spirit now, he watches goings-on from eternity.
