A historical novel by Michael Pitenis
Can the economic
crisis bring the ghost of fascism in Europe back to life?
Marianna, a 30-year-old Greek lawyer, is totally dedicated
to the objective of the “Germany for a United Europe” organization, namely the
spreading of German culture. Her romance with the German head of the organization,
the charming cosmopolitan Otto Schandau, is an extra motive for her to work
even harder towards her goals, but also to keep her eyes and ears shut to
events that would otherwise have made her feel very concerned.
However, everything turns upside-down during her last trip
to Munich, a usual meeting place for organization members based all over Europe,
due to the appearance of Spanish political scientist and activist Enrique
Rojas, who claims that the organization
is nothing but a German Trojan horse for the peaceful conquest of Europe. The economic
crisis, which revealed the vulnerability of most of their European Union partners,
combined with their own powerful economic position, presents them with a
first-rate opportunity to do just that - especially with the organization
creating German-friendly pockets all over the continent through cultural expansion.
