The mule of Karamanlis, the duende of Andreas, the icons of Charilaos, the whistles of Leonidas, the Japanese of Mitsotakis. Autobiography in the Post-Transition Era, a contribution to the biographies of others. Portraits, scenes, dramas, and comedies from the strange success-failure of the Post-Transition Era. Confession: My life with Charilaos and Mikis. The adventures of the Left in Greece and Europe. The enigma of Andreas Papandreou. The secrets of the double '89'. 'Well, Charilaos, the Wall is falling!' The unknowns in the wandering of Gorbachev and the collapse of the Soviet Union. The 'hedgehog syndrome' strikes. Days of division for the Communist Party of Greece (KKE)-Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA). From the Post to the eternal Mimis in the firing line in 2000. What quietly burns beneath the ashes.
