The Image of Nicos Nicolaides in the Correspondence of Thodosis Pierides to Stratis Tsirkas

Abstract

Nikos Nikolaïdis was the mentor of a group of young writers living in Egypt in the years between the two World Wars. A few excerpts selected from the many letters exchanged between the novelist Stratis Tsirkas and the poet Theodosis Pieridis trace a portrait of Nikos Nikolaïdis and shed light on the relationship or distance between mentor and trainees.
