Spanish shoes

Kastaniotis, 2010

Short stories for adults

Autobiographical texts with strong political and existential character, which constitute a series of authentic stories, that one could qualify as short stories.

 

Famous people that Alki Zei has met in person are found in the pages of Spanish shoes as heroes of a narrative fresco.

In her unique style of writing, Alki Zei depicts lively and hilariously scenes of Greece during the German occupation and the Civil war. Despite the tragedy of these two periods of Greek history, the author makes them adorable and memorable, without embellishing them at all.
