"A mythical book." Mercedes Arancibia, Periodistas en Español, Spain

"A Phidias of style!" Christophe Ono-dit-Biot, Le Point, France

"A revelation!" Norbert Mayer, Die Presse, Germany

"The famous aphorisms of the Municipality... have gained the status of an institution." Manuel Gogos, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Switzerland

"The greatest misfortune of the Municipality is that no one listened to him, this fervent patriot." Berthold Seewald, Die Welt

"...a gifted person, clever, observant, sparkling." Alexandros Kotsias, H Καθημερινή

"...has become a classic. A bitter text of self-knowledge, it addressed the issue of modern Greek identity in its own sarcastic way. [...] A truly patriotic book." Alexandros Stergiopoulos, Eleftherotypia, Library

"The smartest author after Roidis?" G. P. Savvidis, Ta Nea

"...it is one of those books that gives you the contradictory feeling of a sad satisfaction: satisfaction because it is a book written with artistry, offering reading pleasure. Sad, because its content can hardly please. [...] thirty-eight years after its publication, it unfortunately remains relevant." Nasos Vagenas, Nea Eythyní

    Excellent critical disposition of the Municipality, entirely present in today's Greece, focusing on the pathologies of the essentially unfortunate natives who still inhabit it!

    An insightful look into the psyche of the modern Greek. Such honesty might bother some. And yet, it is a text written with affection for the Greeks. True love does not overlook flaws.
