Abstract
This article introduces the translation of five works by interwar poet Napoleon Lapathiotis (1888-1944), four in prose and one in verse. The image that connects these five works is the house. It appears as an abandoned house or castle which experienced better times altogether its inhabitants; the garden where dead friends’ souls flourish; the house that closed its doors to the dreamer; and the charmless house after the mother’s death. The work aims to find the links between the imagined house of the poems with the actual house where the poet lived, whose abandonment is presented from his earliest works.Keywords:
