Little Journey on a Borrowed Map is the second book by Lazaros Alexakis to be published by AIOLOS Editions.
With his distinctive narrative technique, the author once again creates a captivating story in which classic literary characters, collectors of rare editions, and — of course — the magic of reading itself are intertwined.
A first edition of Jules Verne that comes into the hands of Petros, a collector and reseller of rare books, becomes the ticket to a strange journey into uncharted waters. Within its pages he discovers love, death, the loneliness of Captain Nemo, and his own past. Following the clues, the truth unfolds before him — at times mysterious, at times terrifyingly clear.
During this journey he meets Eurydice, lost in her own pages and obsessions.
Against the backdrop of a warm autumn in Athens, they search together for their place in history — sometimes protagonists, sometimes extras in a play they did not write but live day by day, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
