With a rather unknown statement by Engels on its first pages, in favor of expressing natural, vigorous sensuality and sexual desire in literature, and his encouragement to Socialists to openly set aside bourgeois prejudices and talk about things that happen day or night, about normal, necessary, and exceedingly pleasurable things, "Kaleidoscope-A': Upon the flaming banks of time," by V. Ludens (first volume), was published by Polytropos Editions.
- A wandering through space ("from the frozen Aberdeen to the Libyan"), through time, in the world of love, revolution, and death.
- A bold erotic narrative in a language that is sometimes dreamlike, like that of the unconscious, and at other times realistic, like that of carnal love.
- The deep unbridgeable chasm between the infinite of desire and the finite of existence, the finite of reality.
- Kaleidoscopic images-narratives of uprisings against the State -including December 2008 in Greece- through the mirrors of hope for a new land under a new sky.
- Futuristic propositions for the revolutionization of Nature, time, and space as forms of existence of matter.
- A wandering that never ceases to be erotic, accompanied by women, books, notes, colors, during which the flâneur, the narrator, or other figures, "converse" or rather recall, Archilochus, Pindar, Homer, Aristophanes, but also Giordano Bruno, Bernard Shaw, Nikolai Fyodorov, Dionysios Solomos, Platonov, Velimir Khlebnikov, the surrealists, Trotsky (or rather a future version of the Fourth International), Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, Andreas Embiricos -sometimes as Archangel Andreas, sometimes as Andreas Sperchios- and they integrate them into the front of the liberatory struggle against any dystopia, whether social or natural.
