| Summary | "Under Greek Skies" by Ioulia D. Dragoume is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. This work captures the lives and struggles of children in Greece, particularly focusing on the character of Mattina, a young girl who faces significant challenges after losing her parents and moving to Athens to work as a servant. The stories explore themes of childhood, family, and the immigrant experience, offering insights into Greek culture and societal conditions during that period. The opening of the collection introduces Mattina and her difficult situation. After the deaths of her parents, she is sent to Athens to live with her uncle and work as a servant. Despite her love for the beautiful island of Poros, where she grew up, she must adapt to the harsh realities of her new life, marked by hard labor and a demanding mistress. The reader is taken through Mattina's emotions, her hopes for a better future, and highlights her innocence amidst her challenging circumstances. The narrative sets the stage for further exploration of her experiences and the cultural background of Greece during this time. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
