Newmag published in Armenian the book "New Day" by the new face of modern Greek literature, Nikos Chrysos (trailer)

One December night, in one of the dark corners of the port, three men burn alive Sebastian, who had a reputation as a wandering fortune teller. Each of the three criminals has his own history and secrets, a dark corner remains in each of them, and Sebastian's character becomes more mythical.

"New Day" is a multi-layered and multi-faceted novel, the result of the writer's years of research. Chrysos guides us into the world of the homeless, which is very close but also very far. A world we see but ignore. The characters he creates come from the past and clumsily establish themselves in an empty and desperate environment.

This great novel, which won the European Union literary prize, was written by the modern Greek writer and editor Nikos Chrysos based on the New Testament. The book is an alarm: Europe's homeless need help.

“I studied in detail the problems of the homeless, the way of life in different countries, I talked with them. Some have consciously chosen the homeless life. In my novel, some heroes voluntarily became homeless. They are on the edge of a knife and walk endlessly with that dangerous blade, unlike our regular life. Unfortunately, the situation has not changed. The situation of the homeless in Europe has even worsened over the years, there is no care at the state level”.

The events in the novel take place in a city and port, the name of which the author does not give so that every reader perceives it as his own story. The heroes of the novel and their feelings are universal and will touch all readers, regardless of nationality and social status.

“New Day” was published with the co-financing of “Creative Europe” of the European Union. With this program, Newmag has translated 4 more books into Armenian: “Homeland”, “In Times of Fading Light", “The Man Called Ove”, and “The Physics of Sorrow”.
