Stelios speaks about his life to Vasilis Vasilikos and autobiographically narrates his story. Kyra-Gestemani, the song, the women in his life, his love for nature and fishing, the Pontians, the record companies, his collaborators, his audience, the fate of destruction that pursued him, his humble dreams sketch the canvas of the life of the greatest exponent of the people's sorrows.

The in-depth narration of Stelios Kazantzidis to Vasilis Vasilikos is perhaps the only complete recounting of his experiences from his early childhood years, through the days of occupation, to his peak and his withdrawal from the studios.

His experiences are many, his adventures even more, his misfortunes multiple, yet Stelios exudes calmness, confidence, and a hint of melancholy. Thassos, summer, fishing with Antonis' trawler. In the afternoons, under the pine trees, Stelios in front of a small tape recorder, with the rich vocabulary of his own language, entrusted his entire life to Vasilikos.

Without any adjustments to Kazantzidis' words and with the additional recording of the author's experiences from the deep friendship that bound them, the book serves as a complete mosaic of the life of the biophilosopher Kazantzidis.
