Stratis Doukas<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a>
\nTranslated by Petro Alexiou<\/span><\/strong><\/a>
\nWith an Afterword by Dimitris Tziovas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smyrna, September 1922: A young Anatolian Greek is taken prisoner at the end of the Greek\u2013Turkish war and marched off into the interior. He recounts his escape and heart-stopping journey through the familiar landscape of his lost homeland, where his ability to pass as a Muslim Turk reveals the common culture shared by the different communities of the crumbling Ottoman empire.A classic tale of survival in a time of nationalist conflict, A Prisoner of War\u2019s Story<\/em> is a beautifully crafted and pithy narrative. Affirming the common humanity of peoples, it earns its place among Europe\u2019s finest anti-war literature of the post\u2013world war I period.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018An arresting snapshot of the moment when the iron grid of nation states clanged down on one part of the Balkans. The translation is clean, accurate and a pleasure to read.\u2019
\nMaria Margaronis<\/strong>
\n\u2014Times Literary Supplement<\/p>\n

\u2018A Prisoner of War\u2019s Story<\/em> is a book of subtle and effective artistry, a history that captures the reader with ease and stays long within the memory.\u2019
\nKevin McGrath<\/strong>
\n\u2014Harvard review<\/p>\n

\u2018Doukas\u2019 s powerful tale taps into the modernist tradition: spare, hard-nosed, and devoid of heroic passions in describing a man\u2019s determination to survive.\u2019
