Τυφλό σύστημα

In Florence at the end of the twentieth century, a man who once taught philosophy, until a Greek university forced him out, makes his living at cards and lives in a palazzo among Renaissance paintings and two kittens he took in. On the computer he uses to practise his game he discovers the typewriter, and starts confessing to the machine: the odd ways his career went wrong and the household tragedies that sent him into voluntary exile, from the Occupation and the junta to petty campus politics.
