When the grandfather, Pericles Rizopoulos, a proud old man, tells his fascinating, tragic and true stories of the Nazi occupation of Greece during World War II and the following Greek Civil War, to his 20-something grandson, Perry Giuseppe Rizopoulos, Perry’s philosophical reflections on his grandfather’s stories along with his own memories of growing up in his extended Greek\/Italian\/American family in the Bronx combine to create an enduring story about the strength created by a strong, tightly-knit family and the powerful values passed down from generation to generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Difficult Choices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 We’re Not Made of Ashes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 A Terrible Furnace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 No Sack Full of Sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 God and the Evil Eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 None Shall Sleep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Dancing in the Dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 A Faint Flash of Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 A Tempestuous History\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 The Irrational Universe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpilogue: A Bright White Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359755469143,"sku":"9781618117724","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781618117724.jpg?v=1754125615","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/wheat-songs-a-greek-american-journey-9781618117724","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
