A dad is someone who wakes up at three in the morning to bring you water when you're thirsty.

A dad is someone who does endless somersaults for you and your friends.

A dad is someone who waits for your news like crazy, but will never tell you.

Description

A dad is someone who wakes up at three in the morning to bring you water when you're thirsty.

A dad is someone who does endless somersaults for you and your friends.

A dad is someone who waits for your news like crazy, but will never tell you.

A dad is someone whose scent is the most magical, yet the most subtle in the whole world.

A dad is someone who cuts the Vasilopita on the first day of the year.

A dad is someone who makes the difficult seem easy.

A dad is someone who, when you lose him, you lose the ground beneath your feet.

Reading CAPTAIN will make you feel an earthquake within you. An earthquake that may cause you to reconsider your relationship with your parents, whether they are alive or not. It will certainly make you rethink the relationship with the parent you have inside you.

You see, when it's time for you to go, you will leave behind only memories, scents, and hugs. And love. Lots of love.

    Deeply moving book, oh Stefanos you are astonishing as in all your books, I struggled to hold back tears while reading it at the Proastiakos station... Masterpiece.

    Amazing book. Whoever is looking for a self-improvement book should start with this one. Easy to read, with very understandable stories that, however, have very deep meanings. If you don't get it at first, read it again. It should be in every library

    An easy-to-read book that you finish in one go in a day. Good paper quality. It repeats the same things in some parts, but overall, it's a good book.

    I read the previous two books that I liked the most, they had positive messages about life. This one tries to awaken the audience through death. It is touching and teaches you to appreciate the relationship with your father. Some moments are repetitive and some stories are weak. It is worth reading, it keeps you company, and it is easy to read.

    A book, a punch in the stomach... that everyone should read. K. Xenakis is excellent. The love and admiration in his father's face show a lot! A very moving book that hides great truths.

    Reading CAPTAIN, you will reconsider your relationship with your own parents (whether they are alive or not) or your relationship with the parent you have within you! Amazing work by Stefanos Xenakis, a gift for those who have lost the meaning of life (I also got the Gift and the Gift 2 and I am thrilled).

    I don't know if this review is good or bad, I just wanted to say thank you. I haven't lost a parent yet, but through books, I remembered my grandfather and grandmother who recently passed away and their everyday routines that I loved. I was moved, thank you
