ESSAY ON: Vasilis Arvanitis

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page book review that argues that Stratis Myrivilis, in his novel Vasilis Arvanitis presents a hero who often seems paradoxical in that his behavior frequently seems to violate his cultural norms. While there is seeming incongruity, a closer examination of this work, informed by background knowledge of rural Greek culture, shows that Myrivilis takes an ethnographic approach to the life of his protagonist so that the choices that are dramatized should be understood within the context of the novel as powerful cultural expressions. It is against the backdrop of Greek village life that Myrivilis portrays his hero Vasilis and this dictates the nature of the heroism that is central point of the novel. Bibliography lists 1 sources.
