Η Κερένια Κούκλα by Konstantinos Christomanos
Αθηναϊκός Έρως
This book is a poignant exploration of love, obsession, and the blurred lines between reality and fantasy. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Europe, it tells the story of a man who becomes infatuated with a wax figure, treating it as a living entity and spiraling into madness. The narrative delves deep into the protagonist's psyche, examining the intensity of his emotions and the tragic consequences of his inability to distinguish between the animate and inanimate. Through elegant prose and a haunting atmosphere, the story offers a profound commentary on the nature of love and the dangers of losing oneself in the pursuit of an unattainable ideal.
