Project Gutenberg 2010-11-15 Public domain in the USA. 64 Kondylakes, Ioannes 1861 1920 Kondilakis, Ioannis Κονδυλάκης, Ιωάννης Kondylakis, Ioannis Ο Πατούχας Produced by Sophia Canoni "Ο Πατούχας" by Ioannes Kondylakes is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young man named Μανώλης, also known as Πατούχας, who has grown up in the wilderness, isolated from society and steeped in pastoral life. Through humorous encounters and explorations of human interaction, the book likely delves into themes of social integration and the challenges faced by those torn between rural simplicity and the complexities of village life. The opening of the novel introduces the character of Μανώλης on a fateful day in his village, where he astonishes the locals with his sudden growth into a young man. Initially met with admiration, he quickly becomes the target of mockery due to his awkwardness and rustic roots. The narrative unfolds his struggles with education and the pressures from his father to conform to societal expectations, which he resists fiercely. As he navigates his connection to both his pastoral upbringing and the village, the tone oscillates between humor and the poignant introspection of a boy on the brink of adulthood. In this initial portion, the reader gains insight into Μανώλης's character, sensing his conflict with the expectations imposed on him and his yearning for the simpler joys of his pastoral life.
