Something like literary "lives of saints"... saints of a faith in the collective ideals of the national community... an "ethics of contribution" that are allowed to be "swept away" by the, inaccessible to many, beauty of sacrifice and become a holocaust without any grievance or resentment... people like everyone else, "sometimes angels and sometimes devils," as Karaiskakis said of himself, people fully alive and imperfect and tragic, as tragic as always is the creature that decides to detach from the soil and leap to the sky...
For such a "leap" was the year '21, and it was served by all sorts of "types" who, although many started from a "bad path," transformed along the way, shaped by the deep fate of the homeland that demanded to be liberated from its suffering... "Biographies," let's say, like elegies or like laudatory hymns, but in every case as shocking human moments in the great battles for the defense of Good...
For we must not forget those who dreamed and "crafted" our freedom... And because not all the Noteworthy of the Struggle can fit into a small volume, a small selection was made based on criteria, mainly either the "incredible" of an action or the unutterable personal pain while dancing wildly a round, the "laws of History"....
