Jason and his comrades strive to make ends meet in the famine-plagued city of Athens.
In their attempt to get food supplies they fall into an ambush and , consequently, his friends are killed. Jason himself contrives to escape and his goal is to get revenge. Along the way he comes across a mysterious man who will change Jason's beliefs of what he was aware of until then. He also comes across his life's great love. Through lively descriptions, successive reversals and flashbacks, a sequence of events unfolds skillfully and leads the plot of the story to a climax that has already been created from the first page.
It's a story about ideas, love, freedom and the determinism that governs the world, and the search of sense of being. The main characters seem to be trapped in a game of chess through the space time and make us wonder if and how we can control our life and destiny. A parabolical urban novel, a dark sad fairytale which walks the tightrope between the blunt realism of everyday living and the romanticism of another previous era, inspired by the classic literature. It's a book for people who have lost a piece of their inner self forever, for those who are in need of feeling. A book for the lonely nostalgists of the hereafter...
"We are nothing more than trees standing dignified only to the point when the merciless chopper of life will butcher us, in a way as it is. And if we are lucky enough to fall into diligent hands, then, at least, something marvellous may crop up out of such an unexpected tragedy..."
