About the author

Laurentios S. Vrokines was a Greek author listed in major library and public-domain records with the dates 1847–1910. The works that remain easiest to trace today show him writing historical prose rather than fiction, with a focus on Greek subjects and public memory.

One of his best-known books is Σύντομος αφήγησις του βίου του Ιωάννου Καποδιστρίου (A Brief Narrative of the Life of Ioannis Kapodistrias), a late-19th-century biography of the first head of state of independent Greece. Project Gutenberg’s catalog notes that the book reflects an interest in Greek history and, in particular, in notable Corfiot lives.

Library listings also connect Vrokines with other historical works, including Peri tou despotatou tēs Ēpeirou, historikē pragmateia, which suggests a broader engagement with the history of the Greek world. Read together, these records present him as a careful chronicler of Greek political and regional history whose books now survive mainly through library catalogs and digital archives.
