Only a few kilometers. Stories about History

Journalist Makis Provatas talks to Maria Efthymiou, Associate Professor of History at the University of Athens. Thucydides has said that "History is philosophy through examples". At the same time, History is the history of people. These fragile, mortal creatures, exposed to every danger and every twist. Of the same people, however, who have, at the same time, mind, thought, will, feelings, goals, selfishness, selflessness, sense of time and sense of death. And who can intervene in themselves, in nature and in others. To define and understand, that is, their little life.

Times and events, individuals and societies, intentions and goals, denials and confirmations are approached in this book. The routes are inevitably involved with the personal history of Maria Efthymiou, the life memories and the forces that led her, with such passion and faith, to the study and teaching of History. A science linked to memory and time - the tireless companions of the individual and group journey of all of us. The path taken by the book starts from prehistoric times and reaches the present day. It's actually not a long distance at all... Just a few kilometers...
