Türkiye magnum

[edit]

I'd guess that Economopoulos's work appears within Türkiye magnum (Istanbul: İstanbul Modern, 2007; ISBN 9756167181) as this is the catalogue of "Turkey by Magnum", in which he exhibited. But its Worldcat entry says it's only 51 pages long, so I suspect it may be selective. Can somebody with access to a copy please check? -- Hoary (talk) 11:07, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Questions on NE's books

[edit]

Very unfortunately, I am completely ignorant of Greek. I have some questions, perhaps very stupid questions, about NE's books

1. How is Φωτογραφίες best transliterated into roman script? Athenean has kindly explained. -- Hoary (talk) 05:39, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2. What is the book Τα μυστικά των μετοχών της Σοφοκλέους, ISBN 9606604624 (here at vres.gr)? (I have no idea what the title means, but the cover doesn't look like anything else by this photographer, and so I wonder whether it's by somebody completely different who just happens to share the same name.) Athenean has commented. -- Hoary (talk) 05:39, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

3. How about Ho kosmos tōn paidiōn: me aphormē mia phōtographia-- tou Nikou Oikonomopoulou (here at OPAC) -- is it a collection of teen writing with incidental photography by NE? (OCLC does not give the title in Greek script, and googling for both forms of the ISBN that OCLC gives suggests that both are wrong: googling for the one draws a blank, googling for the other brings an unrelated book.) Athenean translates the title as "The world of children: With photography as a pretext -- by Nikos Oikonomopoulos". But the matter of NE's contribution remains a mystery. -- Hoary (talk) 05:39, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

4. Or again, Κόκκινη κλωστή κλωσμένη - Λαϊκά παραμύθια και αφηγητές του Αιγαίου (here at vres.gr); does there seem to be a substantial contribution by NE within this? Athenean translates the title as "Red thread snapped - Folk tales and narrators of the Aegean". -- Hoary (talk) 09:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

5. Apo mēchanēs choros (Από μηχανής χορός) has two ISBN numbers (this page and this one of the retailer Vres.gr). Why is this (hardback and paperback, perhaps?), and what does the book seem to be about? [Struck through: This page explains. Hoary (talk) 23:37, 3 December 2009 (UTC)][reply]

Thank you for any help. -- Hoary (talk) 14:03, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Calling readers of Turkish

[edit]

There's material about Economopoulos here, here, here, here, etc. Help would be welcome! -- Hoary (talk) 01:54, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
