Beschreibung
The Minoan civilization flourished for more than 1000 years in Santorini and Crete until, in 1628 BC, the Santorini volcano erupted on a scale without known equivalent. Santorini was wiped out in hours, Crete was ravaged by ash and a tsunami. For many archaeologists this historical event is none other than the tragic end of mythical Atlantis reported by Plato. A century after the eruption, Minoans were supplanted in Crete by the Mycenaeans. What happened in the meantime? This is what is told in this fiction whose initial events and all the places are historical. From the carelessness of youth to the anguish of dark days, we are moved by this young woman who holds a whole world on her shoulders. Exile, tyranny, wars, love, all human feelings pass through this novel, giving it something timeless.
