Critical essays on books that were published in various electronic and print magazines in the year 2018. This edition is, in a way, a continuation of others already published by the same publishing house, Odos Panos, and it concerns thoughts that came with the reading of certain books that left their mark. And in the aforementioned year, it became clear that the contribution of electronic pages concerning culture, and specifically books, along with that of unquestionable printed newspapers and magazines, is important for everyone: authors, publishers, readers, and literary critics, with the desired and ultimate goal always being its dissemination as much as possible, especially among younger generations for obvious reasons. However, the development of an essay and critique, as well as an idea and a text about a specific book, is greatly influenced by personal opinions, the author's style, emotions, experiences, knowledge, and inspiration. It constitutes a deep dive into the specific work of the author, which then offers a test of speech, or at least an ambitious attempt to bring forth ideas. Deviations from the usual use of language, the transfer of images, and originality in the use of words and phrases in the structure of the entire text inevitably characterize the professional or amateur essayist. As it naturally happens here too!
