He became one of the main representatives of the "Generation of the '30s". After studying in Athens, Paris, and London, his first essay was Free Spirit (1929). This was followed by three novels before World War II: Argo (1936), The Demon (1938), and Leonís (1940). His first and most influential novel, Argo, dealt with the problems of young people growing up in difficult and turbulent times.[2]
After the war he became more involved with the theatre, and was twice director of the Greek National Theatre.[3]
Today he is perhaps best remembered for his friendship and correspondence with major figures of the Generation of the Thirties including the Nobel prize-winners George Seferis and Odysseas Elytis; but Argo remains in print.
