Description

The publication of a series of Literary Profiles presenting distinguished Cypriot writers in English language was the result of fruitful thinking and planning, since the establishment of Cyprus PEN and the set up of the first Board of Directors, the idea being supported by all the members of the following Boards, until 1992, when this ambitious goal materialized. As the late Panos Ionnides, President and Honorary President of Cyprus PEN, stated, “We all firmly believed that we had as our sacred duty to internationally promote the culture of our homeland and especially the most important works of our shared space, namely our literature, and this effort had the special dimension of taking place during the accession negotiations that were held at that time between Cyprus and European Union”. Indeed, the members of the Board of Cyprus PEN presented the idea of publishing a series of monographs in English to the then Director of the department of Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Cyprus and member of Cyprus PEN, Giannis Katsouris, who immediately approved this proposal and the financial support t of it by the Cultural Services.
