Z by Vassilis Vassilikos
A progressive parliamentary deputy is scheduled to appear at a political rally. Meanwhile, local political bosses plot his assassination. Thugs are recruited to disrupt the rally. Rumours begin to spread. But the forces already set in motion are irresistible. Z is the story of a crime, a time, a place and a people transformed by events. A vital and iconic classic, Z was published in Greece in 1966 and banned a year later. It is based on an actual political assassination in 1963 in Salonika. Here it is repackaged as a 50th anniversary edition.
Born in 1933 in Kavalla in Northern Greece, VASSILIS VASSILIKOS grew up mostly in Salonika. After the military coup in 1967, he spent seven years in exile, returning to Greece in 1974. Author of some 120 books, translated into more than twenty foreign languages, Vassilikos is Greece's formost living novelist. His novel, Z, was adapted for film by Costa Gavras, winning the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1969.
