Τυχερό

Every person in the novel existed, every word was spoken and every event happened. The axis is the first fatal accident of Olympic Airways, on 29 October 1959. Around it turn the evacuation of Eastern Thrace in 1922 and young Vangelis Volovotsis's settlement in the village of Tychero in Evros, his separation from his seven-year-old son because of the Civil War, the building of the Hungarian village of Beloiannisz by Greek political refugees, and the return home. Alongside named testimonies, the book uses newspaper reports, photographs, official Greek and Hungarian documents, memoirs and history books as narrative material.
