Yiorgos Theotokas

Yiorgos Theotokas (Greek: Γιώργος Θεοτοκάς), formally Georgios Theotokas (Γεώργιος Θεοτοκάς; 27 August 1905 – 30 October 1966), was a Greek novelist.

After studying in Athens, Paris, and London, his first essay was Free Spirit (1929).

This was followed by three novels before World War II: Argo (1936), The Demon (1938), and Leonís (1940).

His first and most influential novel, Argo, dealt with the problems of young people growing up in difficult and turbulent times.

[3] Today he is perhaps best remembered for his friendship and correspondence with major figures of the Generation of the Thirties including the Nobel prize-winners George Seferis and Odysseas Elytis; but Argo remains in print.
