| Summary | "Διηγήματα, Τόμος Β" by Alexandros Moraitides is a collection of short stories likely written in the early 20th century. This volume presents a rich tapestry of narratives that explore human emotions and encounters, particularly focusing on themes of loss, memory, and the lingering presence of loved ones. One of the central characters introduced is the priest, Παπά-Κονόμος, who is depicted grappling with the death of his beloved daughter, Κουκκίτσα. The opening of the collection introduces us to the profound sorrow of Παπά-Κονόμος following the death of his daughter, who was the light of his life. As he attempts to find solace in his daily routines, he frequently reminisces about her presence and struggles with emotional memories that surface unexpectedly. Despite his attempts at normalcy, the atmosphere of the story is rendered poignant by his ongoing connection to Κουκκίτσα, which seems to intrude upon his life in the form of visions and sounds that suggest her spirit lingers. The narrative artfully blends elements of grief with touches of the supernatural, as village whispers of Κουκκίτσα's presence in the church—and the fears associated with such tales—begin to circulate, deepening the emotional landscape and exploring the boundaries between life, death, and memory.
