📚📚The bilingual edition "Crossing the Ocean" [Pyxida tis Polis Editions, 2025] by Niki Troullinou, published with the support of the Region of Crete and the Chania Film Festival and translated into English by Eleni Hall Manolaraki, comprises twelve short stories that follow the paths of Greek emigrants – ordinary heroes, much like ourselves – as they cross oceans in search of a better future. Their journeys are long and difficult, marked by loss, bitterness, hard work, nostalgia and loneliness. Yet, they are also filled with hopes, dreams, joys and discoveries.

Read the writer's interview to Reading Greece about the idea behind the book, discussing how a literary mapping of these migratory paths came up, the feelings emigrants had in their long and difficult journeys, and how they turned into dreams and hopes for a new world ahead.
