The mule of Karamanlis, the duende of Andreas, the icons of Charilaos, the whistles of Leonidas, the Japanese of Mitsotakis. The Autobiography in the Post-Dictatorship Era, a contribution to the biographies of others.

Portraits, scenes, dramas, and oddities from the strange success-failure of the Post-Dictatorship Era. Confession: My life with Charilaos and Mikis. The adventures of the Left in Greece and Europe.

The enigma of Andreas Papandreou. The secrets of the double “’89”. “Hey, Charilaos, the Wall is falling!” The unknowns in the swirl of Gorbachev and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The “hedgehog syndrome” strikes. Days of the split between KKE and Synaspismos. From META, the homeless Mimis to the pyre of Mn in 2000. Whatever smolders under the ashes.
