Gypsy Council

About the Book

Gypsy society, for millennia traditionally nomadic, and having a tightly knit social structure with a most natural communication system, was convulsively rocked in the years following World War One as they were taking to settle in American cities. A handful of certain gifted, but dedicated and God-fearing individuals among them, rose to save their people from destruction, from certain dangerously power hungry aspiring dictators. As a cultural dictum, “There can be no Gypsy of fame,” so these saving heroes were allowed to fade away, never to be remembered, and never to be deified, as true Gypsies incognito to history, only the Lord being their Judge.

About the Author

Nicholas C. Eliopoulos, a retired architect, writes on varied subjects. Interests are history, linguistics, matriarchal-patriarchal social development, theology, folk medicine, arts and sculpture. Spending time in books we are permitted by the “establishment” to see, as well in books dubbed “politically incorrect’, he finds conflicts of information, lapses in logical sequences, general failure to synthesize available information, and cover-ups. In his travels in Europe, Near East and South America, he likes to go native, to stay in hotels where no English is spoken (“always cheaper this way”), to prefer riding streetcars, instead of taxis, and at times is mistaken for an immigrant.
