Ιστορία του Ιωάννου Καποδιστρίου Κυβερνήτου της Ελλάδος

A vivid portrait of Greece’s first modern governor unfolds in this richly illustrated study, tracing Ioannis Kapodistrias from his early years in the Russian court to his decisive return home after the War of Independence. The author blends contemporary Greek and foreign sources, offering a clear view of the diplomat’s political skill, his vision for a unified nation, and the challenges he faced while building state institutions.

Interwoven with more than sixty carefully selected images, the narrative captures the atmosphere of early‑19th‑century Europe and the fervent hopes of a newly liberated people. While the book delves into Kapodistrias’s formative experiences and his initial reforms, it stops short of revealing the later crises, leaving listeners eager to explore how his legacy shaped the emerging Greek state.
