Το Νησί Πέρα από την Ακτή - Βιβλίο II

by Iota Angel

Το 1856, ο Αμερικανός συγγραφέας και ποιητής Μπάγιαρντ Τέιλορ, κατεβαίνοντας από την Αρκτική ζώνη, επισκέπτεται τον Χανς Κρίστιαν Άντερσεν στην Κοπεγχάγη και μετά ταξιδεύει στην Ελλάδα κάνοντας πραγματικότητα τη δυνατή επιθυμία που είχε από παιδί. Περιπλανώμενος στην Αθήνα, τον Πειραιά και τα νησιά, ξεδιπλώνει πρωτόγνωρα συναισθήματα, γεγονότα και εικόνες, ενώ «φωτογραφίζει» με τον Μαρκ Τουέιν μοναδικές εμπειρίες ζωής από μια Ελλάδα που στα μάτια του φαντάζει ως το «γήπεδο ποδοσφαίρου όλης της Ευρώπης».

About the author

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.
