Join us for a unique evening dedicated to a powerful narrative: thirty-seven centuries of history, culture, exile, and memory unfold within the pages of Anna Marangou’s new trilogy, “Walking through the Kingdom of Salamis”, accompanied by the evocative photographs of Petros Fiakkas.
This triple-volume work does not merely recount history – it brings it to life. From prehistoric Enkomi, glorious Salamis, Hellenistic Arsinoe and byzantine Constantia, to Famagusta and the dazzling Varosha of the 20th century, the author guides us through a journey of remembrance and testimony. The trilogy is not a scientific treatise – it is a personal narrative, folk historiography, an emotional chronicle, and an elegy for the land of Famagusta. A blue box filled with stories, images, and the heartbeat of a place that refuses to be forgotten.
The event in London will be more than a presentation: a collective ceremony of remembrance and awakening, a call to all who love Cyprus, its history, and its hope for return. As byzantine historian Anna Komnena wrote back in 1148, “The word of History becomes a mighty barrier against the currents of time.”
