About the Authors

Doros Loizou (1944–1974) was a Cypriot poet and political activist, leader of the youth section of EDEK. He was assassinated during the attempted killing of Vassos Lyssarides in 1974.

The other authors and editors were contemporaries documenting Cyprus’ political, cultural, and social struggles in the turbulent decades following WWII.


This rare signed set offers a unique perspective on Cypriot history, independence struggles, and cultural identity, making it highly desirable for collectors of historical, political, and Mediterranean literature.
