Description:
Toronto: Vintage Canada, 2007 Book. New. Hardcover. 1st Canadian Edition.. It is the summer of 1975. An Onassis-like tycoon is nearing the end of his life. When he finds out that his daughter, with whom he's having a problematic relationship, is pregnant by a man he does not approve of, he has a birthday party for her on his private island, secretly intending to persuade her to end the pregnancy: a doctor is standing by to perform the procedure on the spot. The story starts on the morning of the party before the guests arrive and ends the following day when all the guests are gone. The novel intersperses the events that take place before, during and after the party with flashbacks to the tycoon's rise to wealth and fame, from his childhood in Asia Minor in the 1920s to old age, via Buenos Aires, New York, London and Paris..

Description:
New York: Houghton Mifflin & Co., 1947 Book. Illus. by George Demetrios. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st.US Edition.. Collection of charming illustrated short stories by Greek American writer and artist (born in Macedonia 1896) reflecting the characters, folklore and events he remembered from the Greek villages of his youth. "Greece has sent its young men into all parts of the world; but whether pig-herding in Macedonia, waitering in an aristocratic cafe in Constantinople, or washing dishes or professoring in Boston, a Greek remains a Greek. George Demetrios is such a remembering Greek. With the sure wisdom of an economical drawing pencil and magic freshness of word, he has evoked unforgettably the Greek landscape and psyche.
