Dear Colleagues,
A new book-length translation is available for adding to your personal collection or to courses on post-classical Greek literature and culture, also for recommending to your institution’s Library for purchase. Penelope Delta’s seminal novels (for young but also adult readers) are well-known and classified under historical or ideological fiction:

Penelope Delta, The Secrets of the Swamp. Translated by Ruth Bobick. Portsmouth, NH; Peter E. Randall Publisher, 2012. 475 p.
ISBN: 978-1-931807-87-6; 1-931807-87-6

“The epic-scale novel is set in Europe’s most complex and diverse ethnic region. Its unforgettable story of two children of war unfolds amidst a fierce struggle for national identity in Macedonia. A vibrant translation conveys the promise and the perils of rebel life and action at the swamp.” (John C. Rouman)


And in case you missed notice of the related earlier publication (see following entry), you might add it now to your book-order:

Penelope Delta, In the Heroic Age of Basil II, Emperor of Byzantium. Translated by Ruth Bobick. Portsmouth, NH: Peter E. Randall Publisher, 2006. 343 p.
ISBN: 9781931807524 1-931807-52-3

 “[A] compelling story, full of adventure and challenge. … [raising] thought-provoking questions, [set] in the Byzantine Empire” (from the translator’s note).

Both books are listed in WorldCat.
