Eugene Trivizas’s The Wonderful Camel is at the printers!

It has been quite some time since we first saw, with great excitement, Nikos Koutsis’s preliminary sketches for the comic adaptation of our beloved storyteller, Evgenios Trivizas’, The Wonderful Camel. Today, however, is an important day for the wider family of our publishing house, as Evgenios Trivizas’s first book with Ikaros, after three years of work, has arrived at the printers. We simply had to be there! Nikos Koutsis, the illustrator, examines the colours on the first printed pages of the book. Nikos Koutsis, the book’s illustrator, with the printing press technicians. Eugenios Trivizas’s The Wonderful Camel, illustrated by Nikos Koutsis, will be published in November 2014.Ahmet Hamamet, the solitary Bedouin, has a camel that accompanies him tirelessly on all his journeys. She is his comfort, his hope and his only companion. So, when the camel confides in him her dream of becoming as light as a gazelle and asks him to rid her of her hump, the Bedouin does not hesitate for a moment.Eugene Trivizas’s wild imagination and Nikos Koutsis’s skilled pen bring to life in a thrilling way the bustling Arab bazaars, the seedy harbours, the misty streets of London, the waiting rooms of cosmetic surgeons, the enchanting oases, the raging sandstorms and the bewildering optical illusions that make up this hilarious yet tragic allegory.
