Publisher's Synopsis
In this new work of fiction, Greece's most acclaimed living novelist presents a vivid and complex portrait of contemporary Europe and contemporary Europeans. Here are seven tales that tell, sometimes whimsically and sometimes bitterly, of the old world facing new dilemmas, of grandfathers facing grandchildren, and of the new Europe facing the old. Vassilis Vassilikos, the author of some 120 books, is perhaps best known for his novel 'Z' which was adapted for film by Costa Gavras.
