The title of this book could very well be "Alexandros Mavrokordatos: The Wronged of History." Mavrokordatos was and continues to be an extremely fascinating personality, but also particularly wronged, as he is considered one of the most controversial politicians of his time.

However, today, two hundred years after the Greek Revolution, with the reevaluation of figures and events, it is now confirmed that he is a unique figure. He is one of the most gifted Greeks and one of our most important politicians, a modernizer, a liberal, highly educated, and deeply constitutional, who identified more than anyone else with the constitutional developments of the country.

The narration of his life is no different from the weaving of the plot of a novel. His journey from Constantinople to the Danubian Principalities, to Central Europe and Greece can be characterized as the path from the Ottoman world of the Phanariot officials to the reborn Greek, through the cosmopolitan European.

Mavrokordatos is portrayed here not only as a political figure but also as a human being. The serious side, with the constitutional theories, government programs, and diplomatic relations, coexists with the less serious, including his clothing and gastronomic habits, musical preferences, and moments of rest.

But the book does not strictly limit itself to recounting his life; it also describes his surroundings. Thus, Mavrokordatos serves as a narrative vehicle to provide an image of the society in which he acted.
