Epilepsy. Known in the olden days as the "sacred disease". It is no wonder that since time immemorial, those suffering from this illness were thought possessed as well as God-sent. The sacred and the profane; good and evil; shame and pride; love and death: this explosive mix of duality was to determine, in the most dramatic way imaginable, the life of this book's authors. The reason: Maria-Foteine, their little girl, who suffers from epilepsy. "There is refuge from death", a poet once said, "in the art we make before death comes." The authors of this book show us their own way, the path they chose to follow in the face of death. And it is the path of a very special, boundless love; a rebellious love, capable of transforming fault into a choice; a magical love that turns the "sacred disease" into a more genuine existence and co-existence. Illness, or as Thomas Mann described it, "mankind's magic mountain," has revealed here its hidden gifts. If living is an apprenticeship in dying then epilepsy, in the hands of the three authors of this book - Antigone, Kostas and Maria-Foteine - becomes an emblem of life. In a heartless era, where the survival of man has become a painful ordeal, this family of three talks to us about an undeservedly forgotten hope. Hope: this tiny, fragile, soft-spoken, solitary creature, capable of accomplishing great things and overturning the laws of nature. This book offers invaluable contemplations on the transformation of pain and grief.

From a small island-state in the Mediterranean to the most renown neurological clinics in the US, little Maria-Foteine who suffers from a rare and severe form of epilepsy fights on. But she's not fighting alone; her parents are always on her side ready at a moment's notice to drop everything and take her to the nearest ER. For over six years, they've been travelling the world with their daughter looking for a way to cope with the "sacred disease" (as epilepsy was known in the Middle Ages), all the way learning how to accept and in the end growing to love it. At first, this might seem an unusual approach to what is admittedly a great handicap in life, but once someone has read and truly understood the diary of Antigone and Kostas, it all becomes clear. There is a great lesson to be learnt here; the crucible of invasion, war and life as a refugee does not necessarily spawn even more hatred. Sometimes it can give birth to a feeling of universal love. Supported by the views of academics, extraordinary physicians, fellow sufferers and ordinary members of the public, this account transcends the limits of a standard diary. Within its pages, the personal and the scientific, history and drama, desperation and hope succeed one another, masterfully intermingled in a confession to the world in general and every reader in particular. The book Scorn Not Her Complexity is not solely addressed to epileptics, children with epilepsy and their caretakers. The messages contained therein are equally well received and understood by readers whose lives are not affected by this condition. It is above all the story of a real family whose members have shown remarkable courage and unwavering persistence in the face of true adversity.
