Pandelis Prevelakis ((ギリシア語:Παντελής Πρεβελάκης), sometimes transliterated Panteles Prevelakes; 18 February 1909 – 15 March 1986) was a Greek novelist, poet, dramatist and essayist—one of the leading Greek prose writers of the "Generation of the '30s". Most of his works are set in Crete. ==Biography== He was born in Rethymno, in Crete, on 18 February 1909. He studied philology in Paris and Thessaloniki. From about 1930 he was a friend and agent of the novelist and poet Nikos Kazantzakis, and eventually wrote a biography of him. In 1938 he brought out what is probably his best-known work,''The Tale of a Town'' or ''The Chronicle of a Town'' (Το χρονικό μιας Πολιτείας, 1937), a nostalgic depiction of Rethymno from 1898-1924. From 1939 to 1975 he was a professor of art history in the Academy of Arts, Athens. In 1939 he brought out a historical story, ''The Death of the Medici''. After World War II appeared his ''Wretched Crete: a chronicle of the rising of 1866'' (1945); which was followed by the trilogy, ''The Cretan'' (1948-1950) (revised edition 1965), which refers to events between 1866 and 1910 and introduces historical characters such as Venizelos. In 1959 he brought out ''The Sun of Death'', in which a boy comes to terms with human mortality. He also wrote four plays, all based on historical themes. Prevelakes died in Athens in March 1986. His grave is in Rethymno, in a churchyard near the top of the hill on Kazantzakis Street. There is a statue of him in front of Rethymno's City Hall. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pandelis Prevelakis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
