English translation of the Greek description of the book:2015 was perhaps the most crucial year in modern Greek history. Through this book it becomes even more important; opening a window into the past, and a framework for understanding the future.Each chapter corresponds to one day and one event in 2015. Every event is traced back to its roots, that is, to events that may have occurred as long as 60 years ago. These events, whether political, economic, or social, vindicate the Greek people's disappointment in the old political system and their decision to support the first left-wing government since the dictatorship, which, nevertheless, brought them new difficulties.The journey trough time is instantaneous. The reader finds themselves simultaneously in the present and in the past. By the end of the day, they have gained the experience of history. To read the book is to complete a great puzzle where each piece is a fragment of the history of this country.The pieces of the puzzle become a framework, the big picture explaining much of what is happening today, and especially what is to come, since, as  the writer repeatedly notes, paraphrasing Marx's dictum that "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce", in this country "History repeats itself as tragicomedy".This account by journalist Dimitris Stergiou is a time machine giving you insight into the past. Point of departure: 2015.Enjoy your reading!
