| Summary | "Η Λυγερή" by Andreas Karkavitsas is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the character of Κυρά Παγώνα, a well-known local healer and folk practitioner in a small village. Through her various magical remedies and exorcisms, she helps the villagers with their ailments, showcasing the blend of traditional healing and community dynamics in rural Greece. The opening of the narrative introduces Κυρά Παγώνα as she attends to a sick child, demonstrating her unique skills as a witch who uses a combination of herbs, exorcisms, and folk wisdom to heal. As she invokes various spirits and prepares remedies, the scene shifts to her interactions with a young woman named Ανθή, who embodies the ideal of beauty and grace in the village. The dynamic between these two characters hints at themes of love, healing, and the complexities of village life, as Ανθή is caught between her feelings for a young man and the prospects presented by the persistent attention of the village matchmaker, emphasizing the interplay of social relationships and individual desires in the unfolding story.
