'''Andreas Embiricos''' (1901-1975) was a Greek writer, psychoanalyst and photographer.

Embiricos was born in Raila, Romania by Greek parents and raised in Athens. After taking some time in the business ventures of his family in ship broking, he moved in Paris where he lived between 1926 and 1931 and met with Andre Breton and his surrealist circle. He published several collections of surrealist writings (poetry and proze): ''Ypsikaminos'' ("Blast-Furnace" 1935), ''Endochora'' ("Hinterland" 1945), ''Grapta, e Prosopike mythologia'' ("Writings, or Personal Mythology" 1960) and ''Argo, e plous aerostatou'' ("Argo, or the Voyage of a Balloon" 1964-65). Most of his works, however, including his sex-themed eight-volume novel ''O Megas Anatolikos'' ("The Great Eastern") appeared posthumously.

In parallel with his career as a writer, he began practicing in Greece the profession of psychoanalyst after he was accredited by the French Psychoanalytic Association, continuously until 1951. Embiricos also took an interest in photography and made his first retrospective exhibition in 1965 in Athens.

In 2001 the Greek Ministry of Culture to commemorate 100 years from Embiricos birth, declared that year as "The Year of Andreas Embiricos" and sponsored a number of events in Greece and abroad including public lectures about ''The Great Eastern'' and the publication of a collection of photographs titled ''Fotofraktes'' ("Shutter" 2001).

==The Great Eastern==

''The Great Eastern'' is Embiricos ''magnum opus'' novel, written in the 1940s and developed during the next decades as he read parts of the manuscripts to enthusiastic friends.

The novel accounts for the sexual goings in "The Great Eastern", a steamship leaving England for the New World. In ''The Great Eastern'' all Embiricos' fantasies, doctrines and visions are developed under a formally polished style and archaic language. Full of literary references, his transgressive writting, which could put Marquis de Sade to shame, developes in several episodes of multi-level narrative which features all the sexual taboos of his era including [[homosexuality]], interacial sex, bestiality, sado-masochism and all four variants (man/boy, man/girl, woman/boy and woman/girl) of [[pedophilia]].

Embiricos must have based the characters of ''The Great Eastern'' people he met during in his experience as a psychoanalyst but also, as his correspondence reveals, in his study of sexual histories sexological books. From his research, Embiricos knew well what went on in the sexual underground across Europe and the episodes in ''Great Eastern'' even sometimes parodically hillarious or exaggerated, do not sound completely unbelievable.

Embiricos himself wrote one a note that he would like to see ''The Great Eastern'' published after his death uncensored. His only compromise would be the use of a pseudonym to avoid implications to his family. Nevertheless, his family which owns his estate decided to publish it using his real name. The work, based on the unfinished manuscripts which Embricos continuously re-edited to his death, came out in eight volumes by Agra Publications in Athens between 1990 and 1992 and surprisingly, given its content, there was little, if any, controversy. Surely Greece's literary community unanimous endorsment and praise of the work as great fiction must have helpted.

Even though the eight volume work is primarily preocuppied with heterosexual practices and [[girllove|man/girl pedophilia]], the book is of particular interest of [[boylovers]] in Greece, since there are several instances of sex between men and boys. Consider the following extracts, originally written by Embricos in English (which does not do justice to the stylish Greek language used in most of the book) about a woman secretly reading the narrative of a diary:

<blockquote>"The well-known novelist (he was a man of about 60), who has just read a letter delivered by a good-looking messenger boy of about 13 years old, was asking the boy his name and how old he was and telling him he thought he looked very handsome." (Vol. 3, Part 6, Chapter 65, pp. 71-72)</blockquote>

The man makes a sexual advance offering to pay the boy an extra half a crown. The boy reluctantly accepts the offer and...

<blockquote>"Mr. Lingham drewn his gently between his open legs, as he sat there in a comfortable armchair, and unbuttoning without much ado the boy's fly, he took out of the trousers a pretty young prick absolutely white and absolutely hairless, taking care to take out as well the boy's balls which seemed to have the size of two almonds, before one peels off their shells." (Vol. 3, Part 6, Chapter 65, p. 73)</blockquote>

...and then he continues with five full pages describing a scene of mutual masturbation and the man performing oral sex to the boy, whom ejaculates three times.

==Photography==

As noted, Embiricos was also a prolific photographer. His early work includes surrealistic images of masks and other objects while he later concentrated in portaiture and street photography. An important and much acclaimed aspect of his photographic work regards his candid and often erotic pictures of little [[girl]]s. His contemporaries, like Nobelist poet Odysseas Elytis wrote favorable of this fascination of his while his photography of little girls has often been compared to that of Lewis Caroll (of the ''Alice'' fame). Embriricos also took many pictures of boys, some of them in the nude, that, nevertheless, were never erotic (an example of which can be found at ''Fotofraktes'' collection).
