Cretans and allies inwere united against the darkness that covered the world, treading on the historical soil of Crete. The landscape in every aspect screamed its ancient history. Monasteries, monuments, memories, villages, faces, testified to the passion for freedom, and in the mouth of every Cretan, the would-be invader would hear once again:
"This place is not here to be conquered...
he loved freedom
more than life itself..."
A work dedicated to unenslaved Crete. To the place and the people who make up the identity of the island. Through unique sketches, one of the leading moments of Cretan resistance is revived... The epic comes to life and reminds us of the heritage we carry. A legacy written in blood and sweat, that must not be forgotten...

Heroes fight like Greeks... Because the days we live in require sayings like Churchill's to be verified, this book is a window and at the same time a message from the souls of our grandparents. Come and take them

The battle of Crete was the most heroic battle of the last century since ordinary country people with pitchforks and rakes took on Hitler's tough armored army and defeated him! This wonderful book gives the young children of Greece the opportunity to get to know the history of heroic Crete through wonderful sketches and text!
Vangelis -
Very good and valuable book! It is a historical review of great events in Crete that, combined with his successful sketches, the reader can easily relive... Difficult but
heroic moments that are rare in our modern everyday life and yet we need them so much! Well done and have a good trip Michalis!
Barbara -
Well done for the worthwhile effort. The valor of the Cretans is an example of courage and bravery! All Greeks should know about the Battle of Crete. No difficulty, no matter how great, can stand in the way of the will of a nation! We must always keep this in mind!
Nick -
Very worthy effort and very nice illustration. There's always a new way to tell an old story, and that's what it takes to keep it relevant. Highly recommended!

It is important to have such projects, especially in Greece today. Let the old remember and the new learn.

Through the storytelling and depiction - with the accuracy of events and detail - of war events, the love for life and democracy is presented. An anti-war work which is offered both for our little friends, but at the same time keeping the interest of the discerning reader undiminished. An amazing written and illustrated work by a multi-talented man, whom I have the pleasure of knowing personally. "Have a good trip" your book Michali!

Great job with slick renderings in both sketch and word! He cites with great precision and directness everything that took place in the Battle of Crete for the old to remember and the young to learn. The chronological listing of the events combined with the illustrative and imaginative sketch keeps you engaged until the end! Great job, I highly recommend it to young and old and we look forward to the next one! Have a good trip!

Pigi publications are always pioneering and excellent.
This book is a book that everyone who loves the history of Crete should have in their library.
It is a wonderful illustrated historical narrative, so informative that it draws you into the history of this brave place.
The illustration has been done by the author himself, since he also has this talent and dresses his text with very realistic images.
An excellent book that captivates the reader, whether he knows or not about the history of Levantogena Crete.
