Eleni Gage

    Eleni Gageová se vždy zajímala o kulturní rituály, tradice a synkretismus, což ji vedlo ke studiu folklóru a mytologie. Její próza, ovlivněná jejím řecko-americkým původem a životem na pomezí kultur, se často zabývá tématy identity, rodiny a hledáním kořenů. Gageová své literární bádání kombinuje s novinářskou praxí, kde zkoumá složité vztahy mezi lidmi a jejich domovem.

      In North of Ithaka, Eleni Gage returns to the remote Greek village of Lia, where her father was born and her grandmother murdered, to rebuild the ruins of her namesake's home and come to terms with her family's tragic history. In doing so, she leaves behind a sparkling social life and successful career to continue the tale of a family and a place which her father, Nicholas Gage, made famous over twenty years ago with his international bestseller, Eleni. Along the way she survives humorous misadventures, absorbs fascinating folklore, and comes to understand that memories of the dead can bring new life to the present. Part travel memoir and part family saga, North of Ithaka is, above all, a journey home.
