Ten silver windows to the past are the stories in this book. Ten ancient or medieval coins, linking reality to fantasy and heroism to crime.
Dimitris Bouloubasis was born in Athens in 1939.
He holds degrees in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering from the Technical Universities of Graz and Athens. Today, he is devoted primarily to literature, especially fantasy fiction.
Many of his short stories, as well as his only novel to date, are set in his beloved university city of Graz, Austria.
The short-story collection Silver Windows, published in this series, is Dimitris Bouloubasis’s third book.
It was preceded by Graz, the Colony of the Sun and the novel The Gray Country. He has also published the poetry collection Lorelei with the same publisher.
The griffin, engraved on a silver stater of ancient Avdira, comes to life to confront the barbarian invaders. The coins of Argos are placed in the eyes of a Macedonian warrior and kill him, but they also become the cause of his revival at the most crucial moment of the battle of Sellacia. And one of the thirty pieces of silver, the price of Christ’s betrayal, carries to this day some terrible curse.
The Silver Windows combines with unique mastery and originality the literature of Fantasy and Horror with the knowledge and taste of the coin collector.
