My first book, on Lord Byron’s politics, is now published from a major Athenian publishing house, Armos.
Over the moon for this very important moment.
Hopefully there are gonna be English and French translations as well.
What can you read in this book? 🧵 👇

Edmund Burke died

in 1797. Research his political thought for my PhD is one of the happiest decisions I have ever made and one of the most intriguing intellectual journeys so far.

“I loved buildings that grew silently with the centuries, catching and keeping the best of each generation, while time curbed the artist's pride & the Philistine's vulgarity, & repaired the clumsiness of the dull workman. In such buildings England abounded.”

To be conservative is to prefer the familiar to the unknown, to prefer the tried to the untried, fact to mystery, the actual to the possible, the limited to the unbounded, the near to the distant, the sufficient to the superabundant, the convenient to the perfect.

Paris. Savored exquisite, buttery croissants by day, sipped velvety Bordeaux by twilit Seine. The city of love, indeed - I've fallen for every Boulangerie & Bistro, each morsel a work of art. In Paris, every bite, every step, is a love letter to the senses.

Lord Byron was born

in 1788.
He was dubbed “bad, mad, and dangerous” to know but I thoroughly enjoyed my journey with him writing my latest book.
Cheers, my kind Lord.
