330 _aAlmost eighty years have passed since the Asia Minor Disaster, which was such a tragically determining factor in the history of modern Hellenism. The Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation and Ephesus Publishing have decided to publish the present richly illustrated volume as the least we could do as an act of homage to the world of Asia Minor, to those who lost their lives and to those who were uprooted from the land of their fathers. Smyrna, a cosmopolitan city but with a large and prosperous Greek community, is presented symbolically as representing all the Greeks of Asia Minor, whose metropolis it was. For this reason, the CD that accompanies this book includes music and songs from various regions of Asia Minor. The unique pictorial material used in this publication consists mainly of postcards, but also photographs from important historical archives. The cards have been selected from a rich collection and indeed this may be the first time they have all been published together. Thus the reader can find a virtually complete picture of the Ionian capital, since most of the individual pieces in the mosaic are presented in these pages. In addition, a picture is provided of present-day Smyrna, with photographs taken especially for this publication. The fact that this is essentially an art book, published using the latest technology in photographic reproduction, does not mean that less attention has been paid to the texts. On the contrary, the collaboration with the Centre for Asia Minor Studies has ensured the desired level of quality and endowed the work with an academic identity. (From the publisher)
