Charilaos, what kind of name is that?
National Award for Children's Competence Book 2019
by KATERINA LAGOU
Description
Do you think that Greece was always a modern country and democracy? Well, I’m sorry to tell you, it wasn’t. It became what it is today because of certain individuals who dreamed of change. This is the narrative biography of Charilaos Trikoupis, a Greek politician who served as prime minister of Greece seven times from 1875 to 1895. And, before he was prime minister, he was a boy…Katerina Lagou’s debut novel gives children the opportunity to take a dive into the history of modern Greece and get to know one of those figures who had a dream to bring Greece out of the darkness and into the modern world.
