| Summary | "Πρωτοχρονιάτικα διηγήματα" by Alexandros Papadiamantes is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The stories capture various facets of life during New Year's celebrations in a Greek village, woven with elements of local culture and character interactions. A prominent focus appears to be on the experiences of a simple and mistreated character named Μανώλης το «Ταπόι», who navigates the challenges posed by his peers and expresses deep devotion towards his mother. The opening of the collection introduces us to the character of Μανώλης το «Ταπόι», who is subjected to mockery and fear from the local children and youths, yet has the unwavering support of his elderly mother. As the New Year approaches, he anticipates joining children in caroling, albeit with the threat of being persecuted by the fearsome local bully, Μήτρος ο Τσηλότατος. This atmosphere of rivalry and innocence sets the stage for a narrative exploring themes of social interaction, emotional vulnerability, and the significance of familial love amidst adversity. As the story unfolds, Μανώλης faces challenges from his antagonists but also finds moments of camaraderie and support from a few friends as they venture into the community to celebrate the season.
