About the author
Petros Abatzoglou
8 books4 followersAlso spelled Petros Ampatzoglou (Greek: Πέτρος Αμπατζόγλου)
He was born in Athens of his father Kirkagats of Asia Minor and his mother of Constantinople. The first eight years of his life he lived in Neo Heraklion Attica, while in 1939 the family settled in the center of Athens. His father, after dealing with various unsuccessful operations, opened, during the German occupation, a translation and typing office. During the German occupation, Abatzoglou was in danger of dying of vitamin deficiency, from which many people lost their lives at that time. He graduated from the High School in 1950 and after a competition is appointed to the Athens-Piraeus Electric Company, from which, in 1966, he retires early due to his poor health. In 1960 he made his debut in literature through the newspaper Nea Estia. Shortly before retiring, in 1962, he focused solely on prose, with the exception of some translation attempts in magazines, and released his first book, a collection of short stories entitled "Minotaur". In 1964, his first novel, "Balance of Terror," was awarded the second State Literary Prize. In 1964 he married the architect Kaiti Papanikolaou and began writing texts for advertising companies.
After his retirement he left with his wife for London, where he spend much of the rest of his life.
In 1969 he received a grant from the Ford Foundation, and in 1973 he visited US universities, earning a scholarship from the University of Iowa International Writers Program.
In 1982 he wrote a children's book entitled "The Empire of Vrohitsa". Petros Abatzoglou is one of the postwar Greek writers. A key feature of his writing is the imaginative element and the co-operative which, in the end, destroys the space and time of the narrative. After the works of the 1970s and 1980s, where his writing style was dominated by associative, often delusional speech, Abatzoglou returns to the realistic writing of his first phase and for the first time became popular with the general public with his novels " Paul and Helen "and" An Ordinary Day ".

"Απίστευτο δεν είναι να έχω ζήσει είκοσι τρία χρόνια και να μην θυμάμαι ούτε καν μια ώρα ζωής. Αν μου ζητήσουν να γράψω σύντομα τι θυμάμαι, δε θα γεμίζω ούτε δέκα σελίδες. Σαν τον φρουτοχυμό είναι η μνήμη. Βάζεις διάφορα φρούτα στο μπλέντερ και πίνεις ένα χυμό. Τα φρούτα έχουν εξαφανιστεί αλλά μένει η καινούρια γεύση"
