Η ΠΕΡΙΠΕΤΕΙΑ ΤΩΝ 4 ΕΠΟΧΩΝ (THE ADVENTURE OF 4 SEASONS)
I have written the children’s book “The adventure of 4 seasons” (in Greek), illustrated by Katerina Chadoulou and published by Karydaki Publishing.
“Once upon a time there was a kingdom rich and fine. In peace four kings succeeded one another in turns that nature had wisely defined”. What happened when one of the four kings, the young and glorious summer, decided to reign on its own and refused to give the kingdom keys to autumn, the king who was the next in line? And which role did Man have to play in this sudden and unheard of rebellion? Will the other three Seasons forgive them both when they realize the consequences of their greedy careless actions? A humorous story about the greediness of the human race, the need to maximize production and profit, as well as a tale on the naivety and thoughtlessness of contemporary individuals that might cost us more than a season or climate change: an empty, inhabitable planet.
