The exhibition by Christos Bokoros, Alexandros Papadiamantis: His Shadow, at the National Library Greece (May 15–August 31, 2026) leaves behind, upon its conclusion, not only joy and emotion but also valuable Papadiamantis-related artifacts, donated by the exhibition’s curator, Konstantinos Papachristou—heir to the archive of his grandfather, Kostas Papachristou—in memory of Thanasis and Eleni Papachristou.

– Three documents from 1821 related to a naval incident in which Papadiamantis’s grandfather, Captain Manolis Diamantis (from Skiathos), was involved, and a reprint of the relevant newspaper article: Kostas A. Papachristos, “An Incident in 1821 between Trikera and Xirochori” (Archive of Euboean Studies, Volume E)

– Papadiamantis’s Manuscripts:

• 4 pages from the unfinished short story “The Protector of Widows”

• the first draft of the short story “Shipwrecks Upon Shipwrecks” (13 written pages), titled “From Shipwreck to Shipwreck” (unfinished)

• “Holy Week in Athens. Holy Saturday” (this is the well-known published text)

• three letters by Papadiamantis (Oct. 22, 1869, Nov. 11, 1869, Jan. 18, 1870) to his father (first published by Kostas A. Papachristos, The Unknown Papadiamantis, Athens, 1947)
