Iakovos Kambanellis, one of the most prominent figures of post-war Greek literature, died yesterday at the age of 89.
He wrote more than twenty plays and twelve film scripts, including Stella by Michael Cacoyannis and The Dragon by Nikos Koundouros. In an announcement, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism expressed deep regret for Kambanellis’ passing, noting that the deceased defined the style of post-war Greek theatre, adding that his works were deeply loved by the Greek audience, as they soberly and truthfully depicted the reality of life in Greece, its difficulties and joys.Filed under: Art, Balkans, Book, Cinema, culture, Education, Greece, history, International Relations, Literature, Music, theater | Tagged: Allied, and Tourism, announcement, Archive, Athens, audience, Cacoyannis, Camp, concentration, culture, Current Affairs, difficulties, digital, ERT, Europe, film scripts, forces, German, Greece, Greek, history, Iakovos, island, πόλεμος, πολιτισμός, στρατόπεδο, συγκέντρωσης, συμμαχικές, σενάρια, ψηφιακό, Έλληνες, Αθήνα, Αντίσταση, Β΄Παγκόσμιος, ΕΡΤ, Ελλάδα, Ελληνικός, Ελληνική, Θέατρο, Θεσοδωράκης, Ιάκωβος, Κίνημα, Κακογιάννης, Καμπανέλλης, Κούνδουρος, Μίκης, Μαουτχάουζεν, Μιχάλης, Νάξος, Νίκος, Ναζιστική, Ο Δράκος, Πολιτισμού, Στέλλα, Τουρισμού, Υποργείο, έργα, αρχείο, ανακοίνωση, γερμανική, δυνάμεις, ζωή, θάνατος, θεατρικά, κατοχή, και, κινηματογραφικές ταινίες, λογοτεχνία, μυθιστόρημα, μεταπολεμικό, μεταπολεμική, μουσική, νεοελληνικό, joys, Kambanellis, Koundouros, Life, Literature, Mauthausen, Mauthausen-Gusen, Michael, Mikis, Ministry, Movement, Music, Naxos, Nazi, Nikos, novel, occupation, occupying, of, passing, plays, post-war, Reality, regret, Resistance, Stella, survivor, The Dragon, theatre, Theodorakis, works, WW2 | Comments Off on Farewell to Iakovos Kambanellis
