Z - Softcover
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.
