Children’s Book Presentation

Author and actor Zisis Papaioannou will visit the Library to present his book Vasiliki, i Magiki Icho tis Epidavrou [Vasiliki, the Magic Echo of Epidaurus] on Thursday, April 18 at 6:30 p.m. This is the story of the little Basilica, who  discovers echo unfolding and gigantic in her dreams, revealing another world to her! She wonders who could hear her own echo.  She discovers her own sound world, with the power of her voice, a world full of echoes. Her dream comes true. Later, she enters the home of the Doctor of Antiquity, Asclepius. Her acclamations flood the whole ancient theater and, happily now, finds the answer: these well-structured, stone-walled, long-standing positions that withstand the passage of time are the cause of exquisite acoustics that make her words heard everywhere! The children will hear excerpts, learn about ancient Greek culture and discover the book’s activities.
