Tales of the Living Past: A View of my Hellenic Roots

'Tales of the Living Past' is a fascinating, and provocative book of personal memoirs about the small town of Weirton, West Virginia, which deals with the transplanted Greek community of early twentieth century America, and depicts the towns people courageously struggling, surviving, and loving in their attempts to assimilate themselves into a new land. The book is an important look into the trials and obstacles of an important time of the American experience.

5Great New Author  Dec 29, 2007
This great new author has given us universally interesting short stories
under a misleading title that suggests a biography instead of his insightful and truly unique tales.

5Constantine Farmans Has Written A Heart-Felt Gem  Oct 26, 2007
This is a tremendous collection of stories that details the depths, perceptions and realities of the Greek immigration experience during The Depression, and how those experiences rippled through one man's life. The writing is crisp and beautifully crafted, with a particularly fine ear for poignant dialogue-- very reminiscent of John Fante.

5Outstanding Collection of Stories!  Oct 22, 2007
This book's collection of stories took me to a time and place through a series of small but revealing events that has all but left our world in content. Human nature, however, seems to change little as this well written and humorous composition could describe many current settings. An easy and very enjoyable read. One of my favorite books.
