Ioannidis' Book On Onassis, Destiny Prevails, Will Be Read
When Paul J. Ioannidis wrote a book in Greek about his life with the legendary Aristotle Onassis and his children, ??? ?? ??? ?????, ?? ??????? (2008), he surprised many people. Not only by the wealth of information it contained ? some of it about Greek history ? but also by how well the book was written.
It came to prove once again that some of the best books on history are written by non-historians.
Many of us felt that it had to be translated in the English language too, so that it would be read even more widely than the Greek edition. And now, the book is available in English, indeed: Destiny Prevails: My Life with Aristotle, Alexander, Christina and Her Daughter, Athina (2003, Livani Publishing). And it is every bit as captivating as the Greek version.
The author recently spoke with us to discuss his book and, more broadly, some of his experiences with the Onassis Family.
