Καλή αντάμωση, Σμύρνη μου

Rate this book
Η αγάπη είναι σαν τον άνεμο. Δεν ξέρεις ούτε από πού έρχεται ούτε προς τα πού πηγαίνει. Ένα άγγιγμα ή μια λέξη μπορεί να την κερδίσει, ένα παγωμένο βλέμμα μπορεί να την διώξει μακριά.

Το καλοκαίρι του 1843, η μοίρα έφερε στη Σμύρνη τον Πέρσι, έναν νεαρό Άγγλο λοχαγό, για να τον κατακτήσει η Μυρτώ, ένα κορίτσι με μαύρα μάτια, μόλις δεκαπέντε χρονών. Από την βραδιά, της πρώτης ματιάς στο παραθύρι, ο Πέρσι δεν έχασε στιγμή να μηχανεύεται τρόπους για να βλέπει την Μυρτώ. Κατάφερε να γνωρίσει και τον πατέρα της και παρόλο που δεν ήταν εύκολο να δεχτεί κάποιον ξένο στο σπίτι του, ο καλός χαρακτήρας του Πέρσι, σε συνδυασμό με τον υψηλό στρατιωτικό βαθμό του, του εξασφάλισαν την είσοδο στο σπίτι της οικογένειας του Παντελή Σμυρλή.

Οι μέρες κυλούσαν πολύ γρήγορα και έλαμπαν από το χρυσό φως του ήλιου που έπεφτε απ’ άκρη σ’ άκρη στην όμορφη Σμύρνη. Εκείνες οι μέρες ήταν οι πιο ευτυχισμένες για την Μυρτώ και τον Πέρσι. Κανείς από τους δυο δεν μπορούσε να φανταστεί τις συμφορές που τους περίμεναν.

About the author

Iota Angel

7 books
I was born in Athens, Greece. I studied Economics and pursued postgraduate studies in Marketing at the Athens University of Economics and Business, as well as the University of Bridgeport in the U.S.A. However, from the early years of my career, I was drawn to the field of advertising. I have worked in major advertising agencies as a copywriter and creative director, creating advertising campaigns for renowned Greek and international brands, services, and companies.

Since 2003, I have been actively involved in international television festivals, licensing and merchandising events, where I have contributed as a concept maker of educational games and TV formats. In 2013, I was assigned a research project on the history of the city of Piraeus, Greece, as part of the municipality's extensive program during Marseille's designation as the European Capital of Culture for 2013. This experience inspired me to write my first historical novel, "The Island Beyond the Coast," Book I and Book II, both available in Greek and English.

The book series was first published in Athens by Angelakis Publications, with the support of the Hellenic Republic Ministry of Tourism, the Hellenic Republic Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy, the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce, the Hellenic-Chinese Chamber of Commerce Industry, Tourism, and Shipping, the Piraeus Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Club for UNESCO of Piraeus and Islands.

Since then, I have published the historical book "Greek Revolution 1821 - Women at the Forefront", a Greek edition, supported by the General Secretariat for Gender Equality of the Hellenic Ministry of the Interior, as well as the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce.

More recently, I released the historical romance novel "Farewell, My Smyrna" based on true events. I have two kids and live with my family in Athens, Greece.
