Heroic actions come and stay for good once a short story is captured and written down.
Will it be the ingenious girl who, with a unique talent for methodical discovery in hand, should decide about her professional orientation, yet she constantly suppresses herself down?
The tragic mother ignorant of her own disposition?
The lucky man who is self-healed from his insanity driven by both natural and technical phenomena?
The tragic almost-lovers with a message waiting for hours to be read?
Or the dominant triplet?
They are all heroes of everyday life, struggling to overcome their dazzling soliloquy. Some of these figures fighting with the modern changes - so lovingly cajoled but simultaneously cunningly struck by the simplest technological advances.
Who holds the strongest weapon? The realist or the dreamer? One would argue, none as much as both. Fiction and reality are inseparable siblings, organs of the same body; it is when seahorses finally obtain voice and self-consciousness, only to see their host dead.
Yet when a man tragically loses his life, another fights against a fig tree that has sexually dominated him all through his life. A short story never ends…
Put together, all the pieces of the puzzling Reality that this collection of short stories may create are nothing but a “Carl Jung imaginarium” only to prove once again, in a brand new way, that we are all following a solid Plan called “Synchronicity”.
The Short Stories the reader cannot miss. A brand new approach to fiction writing with innovative techniques and fresh ideas. Witness just how the very intimate, personal and insignificant experience transforms to a unique moment in time when Gods, Humans and Nature meet for just one second in the same place to set the Eternal Wheel in new mode, faster for the ones who are ready to follow. Learn how the new generation punctures the thick-headed ever older generations to establish its own reign on the planet.
Admittedly, during the past ten years the ever so lose strings of Fate have granted allowance both to the individual as well as to whole societies for choice and change of personal or the global future. The Reaction to any established Theory, whether religious, social or political, is global but also a personal conflict within the individual. Discussions free from imposed or self-inflicted fear to Domination are already eminent on the couch or in public places. We people are changing from within. The future of the planet is transforming at the moment these very words are being read. But who will grab his or her chance? Who will face and kill the ferocious demons within?
Christos Rodoulla Tsiailis’s short stories constitute some of the most original, contemporary art of Modern Greek, Cypriot and English Literature, with great contribution to international Philosophy. Short Stories that will grand you, the devoted reader, with a refreshed insight and some extra bullets to use in your war against your inner enemies. And entertain your soul and mind to a degree you rarely encounter in a short story book.
Regardless of whatever difficulties we may face, we all have the power to
shape our own fates. No matter how insurmountable our situations may seem, we
are equipped with all the necessary mental, physical, and spiritual tools we need
to overcome the obstacles that block our paths on the road of life. The only
problem? Whether or not we have the strength of faith to empower us to endure.
Such is the central premise of Throwing Dice On A Chessboard, the new
collection of short stories by author Christos Tsiailis. Throughout the pages of his
collection, Tsiailis introduces the reader to seven different characters, each facing
his/her own unique challenges. Far from superhuman icons, Tsiailis’ protagonists
are average, everyday figures to which readers are sure to relate, each with the
power to transform him/herself for the better – or worse. Just as we all are every
day, the characters in Throwing Dice On A Chessboard are faced with the everchanging
vicissitudes of life, and the ultimate success or failure of their efforts rests
on their individual abilities to heed the cosmic ebb and flow that perpetually
sways all of our actions. As such, Tsiailis’ insightful tome is drawn straight from the
pages of everyday life, particularly when it comes to the significance of the
ongoing battles we wage against the demons within us all. An enlightening read.
