› Find signed collectible books: 'Collected Stories'Book summary:The complete short fiction of Harry Mark Petrakis, a master of the short story form who has been praised as "one of our finest writers" by the New York Times. Revealing commentaries by the author introduce each of the stories, from "Pericles on 31st Street," his first published work, to half a dozen stories appearing here for the first time in book form. Petrakis wrote a long, powerful new story, "Song of Songs," especially for this volume.
Ranging from the comic and the lusty to the tragic, the characters in these stories might be our neighbors, men and women of flesh and blood, loving, working and dying within what appear to be ordinary lives. But Petrakis makes us understand that all experience is unique and that each individual life, from birth until death, comprises a series of miracles.
In "The Bastards of Thanos," a fiery dying poet recognizes his most potent creation in the person of his bastard son; Polish icemen suffer the fate of some great doomed Greek line in "The Passing of the Ice"; in "The Song of Rhodanthe," a fleeting vision of love flowers within the confines of a grim social prison; in "The Journal of a Wife Beater," an insufferable male chauvinist discovers, to his horror and bodily peril, that his wife is younger, stronger and even more vengeful than he is. And in "Song of Songs," the placid, seemingly contented lives of a husband and wife are shattered by erotic discoveries about each other when a sensuous woman named Blossom opens an Intimate Apparel shop on their street.

The Shepherds of Shadowsby Harry Mark PetrakisISBN 0809328631 (0-8093-2863-1)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Shepherds of Shadows'Book summary:[via]Thirty-one years after masterful storyteller and prolific author Harry Mark Petrakis wrote the historical novel The Hour of the Bellset in the first year of Greece's war of independence from the Turkish Empirehe now carries the narrative forward in his newest work, The Shepherds of Shadows. With this powerful sequel, Petrakis captures the fury and ferocity of revolution in the country that formed the bedrock of western culture.
Featuring many of the characters who appeared in the earlier book, The Shepherds of Shadows depicts the horrors of war in battle scenes that echo the visceral starkness of conflict found in Homer's Iliad. The novel also includes a vivid portrayal of Lord Byron, who, through his poetry, supported the cause of Greece's fight for independence inspiring the world to provide aid and volunteers for the struggle. Byron himself traveled to Greece to join the war for liberation.
Woven through the tapestry of war are stories of the love of a young guerilla fighter for a Greek girl and her child, born of a brutal rape, as well as the love of the scribe, Xanthos, for a village woman widowed by the war. There are lyrical descriptions of a village wedding and of the rituals of a village funeral. And always there is the mystical, overpowering presence of the Greek landscape and its majestic past blending reality and myth, as Petrakis creates a modern epic based on one of the most savage yet least known conflicts in European history.
