All welcome. Access from Museum Station and eastern suburbs buses. Easy walk from Goulburn Street Parking Station. 'KATSEHAMOS' is about the lives and struggles of Kytherian Greek immigrants to Australia in the early twentieth century, including the fascinating Roxy Theatre story. The book explores this turbulent era in Greek and Australian history through the experiences of Peter Prineas's grandfather Peter Feros and his contemporaries. '"KATSEHAMOS" is a broad sweep of history, sensitively and clearly presented. Interwoven and skilfully related to the times are the lives and aspirations of immigrants from the Greek island of Kythera. A persistent thread is the pursuit of the ‘Great Idea’, be it national grandeur or business empire. It is a well-crafted narrative told with deep insight and underlying passion. I enjoyed reading this book.' - Manuel James Aroney, AM, OBE, University of Sydney. The production costs of 'KATSEHAMOS AND THE GREAT IDEA' are being funded by a grant from the Nicholas Aroney Trust.
