Το αρχείο του Βαγγέλη Ραπτόπουλου στη Γεννάδειο Βιβλιοθήκη
Ο συγγραφέας Βαγγέλης Ραπτόπουλος δώρησε μέρος του αρχείου του στη Γεννάδειο Βιβλιοθήκη. Έχοντας χαρακτηρισθεί ως "ο πιο δημιουργικός, ο πιο παθιασμένος συγγραφέας της γενιάς του," ο Βαγγέλης Ραπτόπουλος είναι ο πρώτος από τη γενιά του '80 που εμπιστεύθηκε το προσωπικό του αρχείο ("τα πρώτα τριάντα χρόνια," όπως χαρακτηριστικά μας είπε) στα Αρχεία της Γενναδείου Βιβλιοθήκης, για να πάρει θέση δίπλα στα αρχεία της "Γενιάς του '30" αλλά και σε αυτά του Τάκη Σινόπουλου και του Βασίλη Βασιλικού, από τις μεταπολεμικές λογοτεχνικές γενιές. Τον ευχαριστούμε.

We are grateful to him for his generous decision.
