STACHYOLOGIMATA

"The hungry will always seek to satisfy their hunger in any way, this is how it has always been in history and as long as there are more than the full who do not want to lose anything of the "acquired", wars will always break out between the hungry and the well-fed, wars of displacement which so far in history have been won by the hungry."
Unraveling the tangle of history from 1948 to the present day, we meet the "man with the carnation", Stalin, Mao, Kennedy, Khrushchev and the Cold War. The revolutionary Che, Muhammad Ali and the barefoot runner Bikila Abebe. The Mossad with Eichmann. Our poets Seferis and Elytis. Churchill, de Gaulle and the "dirty war" of Vietnam. April 21st, May 68, Biafra and the Mi-Lai massacre are not missing. Reagan and Thatcher with neoliberalism, Mitterrand with socialism. Nureyev, Melina with Hadjidaki, Vamvakaris, Tsitsanis and Katrakis. Julian Assange, Snowden and Max Merten. Red Brigades, Black September, 17N, Bin Laden and 9/11. The Arab Spring, the memos and Berlusconi. Obama, Theodorakis, Pele and a large number of events and persons who influenced the world, together with experiences and feelings of the author compose a colorful historical-social tangle. You unwrap it and remember, learn, reminisce and travel through space and time.
