    Greece Differently

    Phantom Greece

    It is following my work of investigation and analysis of the Greek crisis, that this work was born towards the end of the year 2011:
    Phantom Greece
    Journey to the depths of the 2010-2013 crisis
    Published by Fayard Editions

    Writing

    “What has mattered most in my life ?
    My spontaneous answer is: to write a sentence or even a correct word. Which would redeem for me the suffering of living. But it is not so simple because, thus formulated, this statement can give rise to many misunderstandings, starting with the accusation of aestheticism and indifference to action or to life. This is absolutely not the case because I want to express my moral position in this way: a word is the result of an intense life, hard work and a deep relationship with men."
    (First Nobel Prize in 1963 in modern Greece, the poet George Seferis, unpublished note, 1963, “Essais, Hellénisme et Création”, Mercure de France, 1987).
