Elias

A month after reports revealed that the birthplace of Greek novelist Elias Venezis in Ayvalik, Turkey, was in a state of near collapse, restoration work has begun.

The property, where Venezis lived until he was 18, has long held symbolic importance for the Greek community of Asia Minor.

He opened his Facebook business page for the usual reason. A comic book creator, after all, uses technology to showcase their work and network with others.

A statue depicting Nobel Prize winner Elias Canetti was unveiled over the weekend in the town of Ruse, northeastern Bulgaria.

German-language author Elias Canetti, born in Bulgaria on July 25, 1904, is a novelist, playwright, and non-fiction writer whose family moved to the UK (and later elsewhere) when he was aged seven.
