Stories and novellas whose narrators confess their loves, passions and brushes with magic. In the title novella, a skipper sailing alone among the Greek Sporades is caught by a storm off Alonissos and finds shelter in a hidden bay, where a name suddenly brings back his first love, Iphigenia Seferiadis, a girl from a family that had to flee Greece after the civil war and who used to talk about the evergreen island of her birth. The book also holds the first version of the novella about the Emperor, a treasure hunter who collects the gold coins of the Roman soldier emperors, which the author later expanded into a novel.
