The Multiple World, a collection of fifteen short stories of fantasy and mainstream fiction, highlights, through more ambitious and mature compositions and unexpected twists, the familiar fantastical landscapes and the political, social, and psychological mythologies of Dionysis Kalambrezos.
Its heroes, bound and trapped within the worlds they wander, are often nothing more than victims in a nightmarish labyrinth game, which they are condemned to play to the end by superior forces.
Dionysis Kalamvrezos was born in Zakynthos. He studied Law and Modern History in Athens, London, and Paris.
He has served at the Permanent Mission of Greece to the United Nations, as well as at the Greek Embassies in Moscow, Beijing, and other locations.
His articles and studies on issues of international law and politics, on the Greek diaspora in the former USSR, as well as on science fiction literature, have been published in newspapers and journals.
Our publishing house has released his books Stories of Hermits, Shipwrecked Men and Exiles, The Disease and the Lotus Flower, The Machine Stopped, and The Multiple World.
At other times, however, they themselves are the creators or the cause of the darkness in which they are lost—sunk in fears, prejudices, and obsessions, irresponsible and manipulated, compromised and in denial of their own selves. In both cases, even if in this grey and bleak multiple world they inhabit anxiety, confusion, ignorance, greed, violence, and weakness prevail, the game is not lost.
