Entre fiction et autobiographie: Les écrits de Lilika Nakos
Resumen
In her novels and her romances the Greek writer Lilika Nakos combined personal memories with historical experiences. Through the history of a war that had deeply affected her, Nakos wanted to talk about herself and about the suffering and the destiny of the Greeks simultaneously. Nakos' work, which was to a large extent auto-biographical, promoted the feminist cause, especially supporting the women's right to work and education in an era when conservatism dominated the Greek politics and society. Her heroines -personae of the novelist - are working-class women endorsing human and socialist ideas and fighting for social justice. © 2006 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest.
