1988...Someone digs on a wild slope of Western Macedonia.
“Like what are you looking for? Gold;" the priest of the Simotian village asks them with a question.
"Something more expensive..." they answer vaguely.
The stylus goes back seventy years. She is also looking for "something more expensive". the birth and course of one of those whose remains were imprisoned for years, under the rocks of Macedonia, waiting to come out into the sunlight, like gold from a mine.
"I met the fighter Simos Kerasidis through many references in historical sources concerning Thessaloniki during the Occupation. His unusual personality and a series of cinematic-looking exploits prompted me to resurrect him, if only slightly, through the pages of a novel of mine. Today, the reader has the opportunity to get to know Simos Kerasidis through a literary monograph worked on and cross-referenced with evidence and facts, but not without love, even if unrequited, since the meeting of the author with the fighter Kerasidis never happened because life decided so ,. However, writing always knows how to transform the weak into the powerful and above all into the wonderful."

"Entrained by the narrative, I could feel the tension stretching my veins as time flowed through the words of the book...
I could hear the whispers of the prisoners behind the wet walls. I could hear the scurrying of the hunted mingled with panting resounding on the dark cobblestones. I could feel the optimism crushing the disappointment and sowing hopes of life. I learned the price of their unequal struggle and the hidden pages of our ill-fated history.
I closed the book and bowed with immense respect to the majesty of the leftist fighters of our National Resistance".
