Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Two hundred year anniversary 1821-2021 edition. Greek Cypriot poetry from Vasilis Michaelides on the events leading to the massacre of nearly five hundred Greek Cypriot clergy and leaders on July 9, 1821. Not merely historical or poetical but high drama in the battle of the minds between the Greek Orthodox Archbishop and the Ottoman Turkish Governor. The Turkish Governor was authorized by the Sultan to slaughter all of the Greek Cypriot leadership from the clergy to the laity. The Archbishop was offered repeatedly by other Turks a way out to save himself. But if he did then what would happen? The author translator incorporates sufficient historical and other background to enable the reader to appreciate this epic poem and the context behind it. Turkish invasions and interventions in the island of Cyprus during the past five centuries are highlighted. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Cyprus is a Mediterranean island and as it is located at the intersection of three continents and across from the Suez canal, it occupies a strategic geopolitical position. Its history and prehistory dates back nine millennia, while its Greek (Hellenic) character dates to about 1600 B.C. The connection of Cyprus with the following rather different and apparently dissimilar topics is remarkable. That is, Massachusetts Patriots, the Spirit of the Marathon, Greek liberation wars, British Empire, Ottoman Turkish Empire, Crimean War, Jewish homeland, self determination and love of freedom.The Cyprus-born, United States educated author puts all that together in his journey through Cyprus history to the end of the first half of the twentieth century. The author demonstrates how a peaceful people attempted to reach self determination from their colonial masters. Yet, this fundamental human right was denied and frustrated by the colonial ruling power. The escalation of hostilities that followed in this Mediterranean island in the second half of the 20th century was already staged by then, as shown in this book. This item is printed on demand.
