Holy Blood

Περιγραφή

The little boy hangs on her, his hands tied around her neck, his face nestled on her torso. The mother hugs him, takes his breaths longingly and for a moment sighs. A moment for her stern look, her stern tear, her stern words. “My son… Come on…” A moment just before he is thrown into the abyss.
Souliotisses, Moraitisses, bastards, enslaved figures but also reaped figures who are thrown into an unspeakable struggle to change their chained fate.
In Souli and Ioannina, in Moria and Psara, in Roumeli and in Messolonghi, the time of the uprising arrives, the time of the Revolution. This is when I first see this novel, when the kneeling ones grab the chariots and raise their souls and boi to the mighty tyrant.
Lego, Simos, Despo, Nikolas, Argyro and their sima the Kolokotronai, Tzavelaio, Androutsos, Karaiskakis, the chariots of Kleftouria and the apostles of Filiki, the burlotieres and the ladies. Heroes and heroines of our people who were once baptized in oil for their faith and once in blood for their homeland. This is their struggle. This is our History.
