15,50 €
October 27, 1940: Petros will remember this day because his cricket died. He will remember her because the next day he hears his mother's voice saying: “Get up... there has been a war. Can't you hear the sirens?'
When the Italians arrived at Greece's doorstep, Petros was nine years old, had a pet turtle and knew war only through books. But now he experiences it every day, together with his parents, his grandfather and his older sister, Antigone, starting a long walk - a walk in the Athens of the Occupation, in those difficult years of hunger, starvation, fear, of the persecutions, but also of the Resistance to the conquerors.
The emblematic novel by Alki Zei, recreated as a graphic novel by the author Angeliki Darlasi and the comedian Dimitris Mastoros, respecting the atmosphere and spirit of the original. A graphic novel-tribute from the creators of younger generations to a favorite classic book of Greek literature.
