Project Gutenberg 2009-06-07 Public domain in the USA. 103 Vikelas, Demetrios 1835 1908 Bikelas, Demetrios Bikelas, Demetrius Βικέλας, Δημήτριος Vikélas, Demetrios Λουκής Λάρας Loukis Laras Produced by Sophia Canoni "Λουκής Λάρας" by Demetrios Vikelas is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the character of Λουκής Λάρας, who shares his experiences and observations during a tumultuous historical period marked by the Greek War of Independence. Through his narrative, the novel explores themes of identity, freedom, and the impacts of societal upheaval. At the start of "Λουκής Λάρας," the protagonist, a young man living in Smyrna, reflects on his life just before the Greek Revolution in 1821. He recounts his transition from being a student to entering the family business, while hinting at the larger socio-political tensions brewing around him. As he goes about his daily life, the atmosphere shifts dramatically with the arrival of alarming news about unrest and potential violence against Christians, leading to a deep-seated anxiety among the community. This foreshadowing of national turmoil sets the stage for Λουκής' personal journey amidst the chaos of rebellion and struggle for freedom.
