Apex Review Of Throwing Dice On A Chessboard (Christos Tsiailis) An intriguing, enlightening short story collection. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 30, 2010 – Throwing Dice On A Chessboard Christos Tsiailis ISBN: 9781449081119 AuthorHouse Reviewed By Karynda Lewis Official Apex Reviews Rating: 4 Stars Regardless of whatever difficulties we may face, we all have the power to shape our own fates. No matter how insurmountable our situations may seem, we are equipped with all the necessary mental, physical, and spiritual tools we need to overcome the obstacles that block our paths on the road of life. The only problem? Whether or not we have the strength of faith to empower us to endure. Such is the central premise of Throwing Dice On A Chessboard, the new collection of short stories by author Christos Tsiailis. Throughout the pages of his collection, Tsiailis introduces the reader to seven different characters, each facing his/her own unique challenges. Far from superhuman icons, Tsiailis’ protagonists are average, everyday figures to which readers are sure to relate, each with the power to transform him/herself for the better – or worse. Just as we all are every day, the characters in Throwing Dice On A Chessboard are faced with the ever-changing vicissitudes of life, and the ultimate success or failure of their efforts rests on their individual abilities to heed the cosmic ebb and flow that perpetually sways all of our actions. As such, Tsiailis’ insightful tome is drawn straight from the pages of everyday life, particularly when it comes to the significance of the ongoing battles we wage against the demons within us all. An enlightening read.
7 short stories. 7 ordinary heroes. Who will face and kill the ferocious demons within? Who holds the strongest weapon? The realist or the dreamer? Both none and both, fiction and reality are inseparable siblings, organs of the same body; it is when seahorses finally obtain voice and self-consciousness, only to see their host dead. Yet when a man tragically loses his life, another fights against a fig tree that has sexually dominated him all through his life. A short story never ends Or might it be the ingenious girl who, with a discovery in hand should decide about her professional orientation, yet constantly puts herself down? The tragic mother ignorant of her own disposition or the lucky man who is self-healed from his insanity driven by both natural and technical phenomena? The tragic lover or the dominant triplet? They are all heroes of everyday life, struggling to overcome their dazzling soliloquy. Some of these figures fighting with the modern changes - so lovingly cajoled but simultaneously cunningly struck by the simplest technological advances. Admittedly, during the past ten years the ever so lose strings of Fate have granted allowance both to the individual as well as to whole societies for choice and change of personal or their global future. But who of all them will grab his or her chance? Put together, all the pieces of the puzzling Reality that this collection of short stories may create are nothing but a "Carl Jung imagery" only to prove once again, in a brand new way, that we are all following a solid Plan called "Synchronicity". Christos Rodoulla Tsiailis's short stories constitute some of the most original, contemporary art of Modern Greek Cypriot and English Literature, with great contribution to international Philosophy.
