Giorgos Theotokas

Giorgos Theotokas, born in Constantinople on 27 August 1905 into a family of merchants, attended the French lycée of the city, came to Athens in 1922 to study law, then continued in Paris and London, and practised at the bar while writing. An essay published when he was twenty-four was regarded as the manifesto of the generation that would renew the country's letters. He received the Academy of Athens prose prize in 1939, directed the National Theatre in 1945–1946 and again in 1951–1952, stood unsuccessfully in the elections in Chios in 1955, and died in Athens on 30 October 1966.
