twenty-five o'clock

Author's name: Constantine Virgil Georgiou

The Twenty-Fifth Hour is one of the most narrative works that raises radical questions about the tragic fate of man. The virtual world of the novel is a labyrinth from which no one can escape. In contrast to most narrative works, where the balance of events is disturbed and then eventually restored, the pattern of imbalance deepens with the passage of time and never returns to its former state. The novel echoes the great epics, Greek tragedies, Shakespearean tragedies, and all the works that focused on human fate. Therefore, it belongs to the lineage of the high and immortal narrative literature. Many novels fade from memory with the passage of time, and recapturing their atmosphere becomes difficult, perhaps almost impossible. Few of them imprint their eternal seal on memory, and among those rare few is the novel The Twenty-Fifth Hour.
