Kosmas Politis

Paraskevas Taveloudis, who wrote under the name Kosmas Politis, was born in Athens on 16 March 1888 and grew up in Smyrna, where his family settled when he was two. A bank employee from 1905, he left the city in 1922, when it was destroyed, and continued the same trade in Greece, in Patras and then in Athens, writing only in the evenings and publishing his first book only at the age of forty-two. Gradually won over to the left, he translated Shakespeare, Poe, Joyce, Henry Miller and Pearl Buck into Greek, and died in Athens on 23 February 1974.
