Thanks to George Canonis for his major work in proofreading. "Διηγήματα, Τόμος Δ" by Alexandros Moraitides is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This volume features narratives that delve into Greek life, culture, and the complexities of human relationships, often highlighting themes of social status, ambition, and personal identity. The beginning of the book introduces us to the characters of a quiet village on the brink of Easter celebrations. As the townsfolk sleep deeply, a local butcher's exuberance disrupts the peace with gunfire in celebration. Central to this opening portion is the character of κυρά-Μανωλάкая, a young woman eager to showcase her beauty and social status at the church during the Easter service. She spends the night preparing her attire, reflecting her ambitions to be seen, while her husband, κυρ-Μανωλάκης, sleeps nearby, oblivious to his wife's desires and the evolving social dynamics around them. The narrative sets the stage for themes of aspiration, social hierarchy, and the struggles of married life within the framework of Greek tradition.
