“The historical novel is a difficult undertaking, as the author is called upon not only to give the stigma of the era in which the story takes place, but also to know details about the life, customs, manners, attitudes and communication of the people of that time.”
This was mentioned by Stefanos Dandolos in an interactive lecture – interview with the Executive Councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Glyfada and journalist Georgia Vamvakerou, in the context of the Municipal Free Open University (MFAU) founded in our city by the Mayor of Glyfada George Papanikolaou.
The award-winning author of great successes and journalist Stefanos Dandolos added, however, that apart from the difficulties, the historical novel is particularly fascinating for the author, as writing it he “lives” in other times and “experiences” situations that fascinate him first. He referred mainly to three of his novels, ‘A Tale without a Name’, which is about the love between Penelope Delta and Ion Dragoumi, and ‘The Trial that Shook the World’, which describes the life of Agia Prokla, who was the wife of Pontius Pilate, and ‘Nightingales of Silence’, which tells the story of a love affair during the dark period of the Decembrance period, he said that the historical novel does not teach history but gives us the impetus to read further history, since it arouses our interest in the historical period to which it refers. “We read a novel,” he said, “mainly because it entertains us and makes us have a good time learning.”
