Galánoskilos, Apostolos Doxiadis

Doris Kalousis is not an ordinary writer. Wanting to write his great novel, he struggles with unexpected challenges, both external and internal. He escapes to Parnassus to concentrate. But there he is drawn in by a completely unknown book, so vivid that its world begins to invade his reality.
Athens, 1942. Christoforos Bamias, a disgraced democratic officer, undertakes to protect the philologist Vasilis Sfendamis. But nothing is simple in his mission, in a starving city and in an era where the Nazis plan to film Aeschylus' Oresteia as a hymn to the Führer. Sfendamis is threatened to co-sign the most monstrous distortion of the ancient spirit. Bamias must save him, and with him, something much larger: the Truth. By his side is Galanis, a dog who is not exactly… a dog.
From the dark backstage of the Academy of Athens to the Oracle of Delphi, from Apollo to Dionysus, from our glorious past to our current schizophrenia, action, satire and mystery weave a novel about the power of History and the thin line that separates myth from reality, wisdom from madness, narration from life.
