One of the most important representatives of the literary criticism of the Transfiguration, passed away full days, at the age of 101
Yesterday, at the age of 101, the literary critic, essayist and journalist Dimitris Rautopoulos, one of the most important representatives of literary criticism, passed away.
Since his teenage years he was involved in the movements of the political youth of the Left.
With his texts in “Dawn”, “Art Inspection” and other similar forms, he became one of the most dynamic and important young books and scholars in much of the post -war period.
In 1989, he was awarded for his journalistic work by the Athanasios Botsi Journalism Foundation. In 1997 he was honored with the State-Criticism Award for the work of “Aris Alexander, the exiled”. In 2008, he received the “Dido Sotiriou” Award of the Society of Writers, and was awarded Honorary Dr. of the School of Philosophy of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. In 2014 he received the Grand Literature Award for the entire project of ENV for their overall offer, received the Kostas and Helen Uranus Foundation’s Testament Prize in 2017.
Informing the loss of Dimitris Ratopoulos, Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni made the following statement:
I was sadly informed of the loss of Dimitris Ratopoulos, a leading critic with a long and catalytic presence in our post -war letters. Dimitris Rautopoulos was distinguished early on for the discretion of his writing, the comfort of his movement in the field of ideas, the clear and impartial development of his positions. Properties he has firmly cultivated, already from his early appearance in the letters, in the important journal “Art Inspection”, to his later criticism and essayography.
A militant to the left early, he had the courage to be sent early by dogmatism, to review his own positions, to chat well and with people on the opposite side of an ideological bank, to articulate a brave, meaningful and always inappropriate reason for public things. Dimitris Rautopoulos has contributed decisively to renewing criticism and reducing it to an equal type of our literature.
To his family and his friends I sincerely address condolences. “
