Be it realistic or in the realm of fantasy,  Manos Kondoleon writing is, in both cases, a literary pact that conveys to the reader, to each one in a different way, the illusion of reality. The job of the "artist" who is the literary writer is, after all, to introduce his reader to a literary world that would offer pleasure and personal evolution. Kondoleon is constantly testing his literary boundaries. He dares, he recedes, he comes back, he startles you. Needless to say that he takes the reader with him in his quest for pleasure.
	Manos Kondoleon is considered to be one of the most important Greek authors of nowadays. Besides the fact that he has written books for children, teenagers and adults, he is one of the very few authors, who although he has been credited with writing for children, he has accomplished to successfully bring together various age groups.
Among Manos Kondoleon's books, his novels for teenagers stand undoubtedly out. The success of these novels relies especially on the spontaneity and sincerity of his writing about everyday themes that young people care for. See also more on Manos Kondoleon at www.kontoleon.gr
