Υψικαμινος by Andreas Embiricos
The Furnace
"Υψικαμινος" is a groundbreaking work of modernist literature that delves into the depths of human consciousness and the complexities of sexual desire. Through a series of vivid, often surreal vignettes, the narrative explores the inner lives of its characters, weaving together themes of freedom, existential despair, and the search for meaning. The author employs a rich, poetic language and a non-linear structure to challenge traditional narrative forms and to invite readers into a world where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. This novel stands as a bold experiment in literary form and a profound inquiry into the human psyche and the nature of eroticism.
