Ο αγριόγατος πηγαίνει πάντα μόνος

When Asterios was little and would not settle, his foster mother, the midwife Epistimi, invented a story to scare him: a wildcat that goes out at night in search of food and, if it finds nothing better, will even eat children. The boy never forgot it, and as he grew up he wanted to find the creature, which he no longer feared and even liked a little, since, as she had told him, the wildcat always walks alone, as an orphan does. Life goes on in the humble village of Triskala in the early 19th century, when the sparks of the Revolution against Ottoman rule have just begun to glow. The story begins with one death and ends with another.
