"Our summer has passed" is a novel featuring both historical and fictional characters who share a common journey and fate during a harsh era, starting with the occupation of Greece by German troops and concluding in August '49, when the guns of the Civil War fell silent and the chaos in the mountains was replaced by silence.
It follows the path of some ordinary and everyday people who struggled, fell in love, and danced in secret alleys. They achieved the triumph of humanity against multiple forms of violence, counted the stars, but found them lacking.
It is a poignant record of a harsh and unjust period that, while it could have changed the world, pushed it back into its sinful past.
It describes the drama of a generation whose heights and visions were as lofty as the mountains of our homeland, leaving behind a sacred legacy.
It is a time when we all find solace and say: "Once upon a time, there were some daring souls who refused to sit quietly, to sign pledges of submission and become ordinary, but wanted to make dreams a reality. Alas, what a pity, their summer passed them by."
