This book is in Greek. An English translation is to be found in a seperate volume. A look into the darkness of male soul. Set in post Ottoman Greece, this enigmatic story reads like a detective plot but it is in fact a literary work loaded with anthropological, philosphical and psychoanalytic themes.
