The publication of the memoirs and thoughts of Yannis Pappas, recorded over the final years of his life, was released on the occasion of the exhibition "Yannis Pappas, Equestrian Studies", which was being held at the Benaki Museum from January 17 to February 22, 2006. Even though this is a fragmentary narrative of his life, it delineates an entire era. Yannis Pappas mainly wrote and drafted the “Notebooks” on the island of Aegina, in school exercise books belonging to his grandsons, and the current edition accurately follows the layout of his manuscript.
