The Girl and the Rainbow

About this ebook
Dimitra had been born free and could not bear absurd daily clichés of “respectability”.
This is what happened, every time. Once the rain had stopped and the sun had peered through the clouds, its first job was to light the rainbow. A huge colourful arc would then embrace the horizon from end to end, always away from the stunned people’s eyes on earth. This picture unfolded in the sky for ages, yet, each time it was as if it happened for the first time. It was the arc of the sky, each time as beautiful and as magical as in its first time. It was hard to resist and not look at this colourful half wreath of the sky, which was a revelation of all secrets hidden in the sunlight. And the question, always so intense: how could so many colours be suddenly found up in the skies, even lined up in such a harmonious line, as if each of them knew its place in the hierarchy of the universe?

Ο Γιάννης Χαριτάντης, Πόντιος στη καταγωγή, μεγάλωσε στη Δράμα. Σπούδασε Φυσική στο Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλονίκης και κατόπιν ειδικεύτηκε στην Ηλεκτρονική. Για πολλά χρόνια υπηρέτησε ως καθηγητής Ηλεκτρονικής στο Πανεπιστήμιο Πατρών. Το πρώτο του λογοτεχνικό βιβλίο με τίτλο "Οδός Ευξείνου Πόντου" δημοσιεύτηκε το 2008. Στο βιβλίο αυτό αναδεικνύει τις αρετές, τον τρόπο ζωής και τον πολιτισμικό πλούτο των προσφύγων Ποντίων, μέσα από μια ανθρωποκεντρική προσέγγιση. Το 2014 ακολούθησε η σειρά διηγημάτων του με τίτλο "Στα μονοπάτια του νου και του κόσμου", όπου παρουσιάζονται εικόνες και προβληματισμοί της καθημερινής ζωής, όπως αυτές σχηματοποιούνται μέσα από τις διαδρομές της σκέψης, για να γίνουν, τελικώς, εικόνες του νου. Διηγήματά και πολιτικο-κοινωνικά άρθρα του βρίσκονται, επίσης, αναρτημένα και στο διαδίκτυο. Με το μυθιστόρημά του με τίτλο "Ευτυχώς δεν είμαι Θεός", επιχειρεί να δώσει μια εικόνα της κοινωνικής και πολιτικής κατάστασης στην Ελλάδα μετά τον εμφύλιο σπαραγμό. Η εικόνα αυτή δίνεται περιγράφοντας την προσπάθεια ενός νέου να χτίσει την προσωπικότητά του μέσα σ' ένα δύσκολο οικογενειακό και κοινωνικό περιβάλλον.
