My Uncle Archimedes

A comedy with dramatic elements named for a Greek migrant from the 1940s who came to Czechoslovakia to escape civil war and found a new home. My Uncle Archimedes captures the first wave of Greek emigrants and focuses on the story of the Greek Archimedes and the Czech Karel who despite clearly different natures become true friends and together experience many tragicomic situations. The story is told from the perspective of the now-grown Aris, Archimedes’ nephew, who reminisces on how the escape from Greek to Czechoslovakia changed his uncle’s life.
