Drawing material from the scientific seminar and the exhibition organized by the Foundation of the Parliament in October 2018, the volume "narrow and impassable, rough the road - Nikos Plumbidis, 1902-1954" presents a complex picture of Plumbidis through his political action as well as through his interpersonal relationships.

Charis Athanasiadis refers to his early union activity from the position of a teacher, while Georgios Margaritis discusses the organization of the general strike against the political mobilization on March 5, 1943.

Ioanna Papathanasiou speaks about life in the city under conditions of illegality, and Vangelis Karamanolakis discusses the secret correspondence of N. Plumbidis from prison with Demosthenes Papachristou.

Alki Zei sketches the personality of N. Plumbidis "as a hero of Stendhal" through personal experiences and snapshots.

Finally, Ilias Nikolaopoulos describes Plumbidis's contribution to the return of the Left to legality and parliamentary representation, with the creation of the Democratic Party and subsequently of EDA. The publication includes a chronology, documents, and illustrative material.
