Omschrijving
Central Athens was transformed by the expropriation and demolition in the 1930s of the Vrysaki neighbourhood at the foot of the Acropolis, to facilitate the excavation of the ancient Agora. This book details the expropriations, as well as the history of the neighbourhood, providing a vivid recreation of the community that was Vrysaki.
Dumont must...be commended for making this archival material widely available and for producing a beautifully illustrated book that addresses a wide range of people who connect and interact with the city of Athens.
Fotini Kondyli, Journal of Modern Greek Studies 39.1 (2021).
"Designed as a memento mori rather than a gesture of mourning proper, Dumont's book offers to the twenty-first century reader more than its author admits or even perhaps envisaged."
Dimitris Plantzos, BMCR 2022.01.11.
"This beautifully produced book is obviously of importance for anyone interested in the history of modern Athens... "
