A large novel in the line of the most authentic tradition of the genre, where the interest of the plot competes with the interest of social and individual psychological observation.
The dramatic conflicts within a group of people, where self-interest overrides any sense of altruism, inflating morbid passions to the fullest.
The central hero, the writer and lawyer Manos Tasakos, the dynamic conqueror, the morally indifferent, the harsh experimenter of human passion, but also the insightful, the genius, the sensitive, and shockingly human, will remain in our literature a vividly independent type, one of those figures that continue their autonomous and self-sufficient life outside the pages where their creator first penned them.
"Any of my novels," said Karagatsis, "I can recount to you in quite detail in half an hour. But the 'Yellow Envelope' is impossible for me to recount! Not because there is no plot. On the contrary, the diverse events intertwine so consistently and impartially that any one of the countless details I forget makes my narration incomprehensible. The 'Yellow Envelope' is a novel that must be read, and not a tale that can be told." [Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition]
