| Summary | "Καλαμιές στον άνεμο" by Grazia Deledda is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily unfolds in Sardinia and revolves around the character of Έφις, an elderly servant dedicated to the three remaining sisters of the once-noble Πιντόρ family. The narrative explores themes of redemption, social change, and the struggle between tradition and modernity as Έφις grapples with his past and the evolving world around him. The opening of the novel introduces us to Έφις as he toils to reinforce a primitive dam alongside a river, reflecting on the land he has cultivated over thirty years. As night falls, he contemplates the surroundings, beset by memories and spiritual connections to the past, including the shadow of a once-proud family marked by tragedy and the exodus of one daughter, Λία. A young boy interrupts his solitude to convey news about a mysterious letter that may involve the family, stirring both hope and dread within Έφις. The atmosphere is steeped in the natural beauty of the Sardinian landscape, intertwined with folklore and the weight of history as the characters navigate their intertwined fates.
