"A young man arrives on a Greek island to take up a teaching position, but what follows is a surreal allegory in which the island sinks beneath the sea, he becomes a Byzantine monk, and famous figures from the past shoot it out in the school assembly hall. Written during the Colonel's dictatorship and first published in 1974, this strange novel provides a highly unorthodox lesson in Greek history."
