Η μαζώχτρα κι άλλες ιστορίες / Ο Βουρκόλακας - Δράμα

A collection of short stories and a dramatic piece rooted in island and rural life. A framing prologue reflects on reading, literary purpose, and cultural habits, and the narratives draw on travel impressions of Crete: rugged landscapes, ruined villages, and local speech. The tales alternate naturalistic depictions of hardship, violence, and social decline with folklore-tinged episodes that probe obsession, isolation, and communal memory. The drama complements the stories by staging local customs and moral tensions, blending realism and vernacular color to portray a community shaped by loss, endurance, and superstition.
