Credits: Produced by Sophia Canoni

Summary: "Ενώ διέβαινα - Χρονογραφήματα" by Ioannes Kondylakes is a collection of chronicle-style essays written in the early 20th century. The essays explore various social, cultural, and political themes, often with a humorous tone that highlights the absurdities of human behavior and societal norms in Greece during that timeframe. At the start of the work, the author presents a blend of tragedy and comedy, as he recounts peculiar incidents related to natural disasters and the reactions of people involved. One notable anecdote describes how a donkey was swept away by floodwaters, only to later sound a trumpet to proclaim its survival, while another depicts a scene where a parrot trapped in a cage calls out for "salt," prompting laughter about the absurdity of the situation. The opening segments showcase the author’s keen observation of everyday life, setting the stage for a series of reflective and often satirical essays that engage with various facets of society.
