Andreas the Cypriot
A Novel of Love, Loss, and the Unbroken Heroic Spirit of a Homeland
What makes a man love his homeland so deeply that he’s willing to sacrifice everything for its dignity? This question lies at the heart of Andreas the Cypriot, a novel born from fifty years of life on the island of Cyprus and shaped by the author’s own journey through exile, belonging, and gratitude.
Andreas and his brother were orphaned by history. Their father was martyred in the war of liberation against British colonial forces. Their mother perished during the Turkish invasion of 1974. From this double wound, Andreas began to understand the meaning of justice, the pain of division, and the sacredness of homeland. Love was flourished in grief, in memory, and in the silent promise to protect what remains.
Set against the breathtaking landscapes of Paphos from the Adonis Pond to the Baths of Aphrodite, the novel follows Andreas’s life as a swimmer, a humanitarian, and a quiet patriot. His story is not loud, but luminous. Through his eyes, we witness the poetry of Cypriot traditions, the resilience of its people, and the eternal beauty of a land kissed by myth and memory.
This is not just a novel. It is a gesture of fidelity. A whisper of thanks. A bridge between past and future, between sorrow and hope, between the soul of a man and the soul of a nation.
Whether you are Cypriot or not, this novel will speak to your heart. It is a tribute to all who have suffered for justice, loved without condition, and dreamed of unity in a fractured world.
