Throughout the Nazi Occupation of Greece, this district was the symbol of Greek Resistance and Hakkas' stories are indelibly marked by the blood-stained events of the Kesariani \"Skopeftirio\" (Shooting-Ground), where at least a thousand Greek Partisans sacrificed their lives. With sharp irony, but also occasional flashes of elegiac lyricism, Hakkas laments the loss of this valiant spirit. Wrathfully, he imagines the once heroic Shooting-Ground being sold out to land-grabbers, interested only in profiteering and money-grubbing shop-owners. The acquisition of a newfangled \"elegant toilet\" becomes the symbol of this new Kesariani, where disappointed ex-idealists are no longer able to dream or even to remember their recent struggles. However, the last story in the last book records the voice of a single lad, killed while resisting, and this outcry remains vibrantly alive, demanding justice from future generations.\u003cbr\u003e","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b9560.jpg","isbn":"960-04-1333-9","isbn13":"978-960-04-1333-5","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":{"id":895,"name":"Modern Greek Writers","books_count":37,"tsearch_vector":"'greek' 'modern' 'writers'","created_at":"2017-04-13T00:57:20.275+03:00","updated_at":"2017-04-13T00:57:20.275+03:00"},"pages":110,"publication_year":1997,"publication_place":"Αθήνα","price":"7.0","price_updated_at":"2010-07-28","cover_type":"Μαλακό εξώφυλλο","availability":"Κυκλοφορεί","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":"Ο μπιντές.

Or is it an autobiography of Greece's most human poet, whom Aragon hailed as the \"greatest poet of his time\"? And what about the strange title? How are the established Orthodox saints, traditionally decorating the panels near the altar, how are they replaced by anonymous human beings? - everyday people from Ritsos' neighbourhood; members of his large family and simple inhabitants of Monemvasia; unassuming fellow-prisoners on exile islands and a closely-knit band of friends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll these \"anonymities\" are skillfully counterpointed with the hero - Ion - and Ion's alter ego - Ariostos - and woven into a fascinating tapestry of reminiscences and reflections, vivid memories from childhood and adolescence, speculations on Greece's recent history, confessions bordering on psycho-analytical introspection, and, occasionally, surrealistic dreams.
