Το χρονικό του Δαρείου

The chronicle is told by a fanatical supporter of "Darius", president of the Pan-national Gatanic Popular Movement and leader of the faithful. Born of an anti-imperialist resistance front, the movement crushed the old parties after a junta propped up by foreigners was toppled, and it swept to power at the polls promising the Great Change, here and now. Its emblem comes from the Gatan, a newly discovered tribe of ancient Greek cat-men. Darius has many lovers but only one official one, and some say his ghost still roams the corridors of parliament. Serious history or farce, political parody or a life of its hero: the book traces a leader's triumphant and finally tragic course.
