THE WILD ANIMALS OF THE CITY

Manolis Efthymiou lived the life of a successful architect and husband – until that cursed car accident, which he survived. Manolis was one of the lucky ones who survive the human sacrifices of the streets. That's the good news. The bad news is that the accident broke not only glass, sheet metal and human flesh but also something deeper inside him. After this internal fracture that revealed his darkest side, nothing is the same. Manolis' life is being deconstructed, his everyday life is collapsing. That's when he starts looking for the company of the most naked and unprepossessing perversion in the most unexpected places. And in there, among the two-legged animals that feed the hunger of their souls with flesh, he observes dozens of looks that shimmer with an unquenchable thirst for God, and they invite him to taste the divine thirst. Manolis, knowing one of the most ancient and dangerous secrets of humanity, must choose a side: man, God or animal? What do we choose to become, who do we choose to be? A few words about the author Petros Argyriou was born in Thessaloniki in a certain year that some decided for him, before him, that it was 1973 AD. Growing up dating people she didn't meet personally, she went on to successfully grow up among other people she didn't know, and most of whom she would never want to meet if she had the choice. He studied at the Medical School of Athens a science that he never imagined passing Man for a machine. He was a member of the Greek MENSA, although he considers perception far more important than pompous intelligence. At one point he returned to his birthplace which he remembered as a "nymph of Thermaikos", only to find a disgusted and grumpy old woman. Since then, through the columns of Zenith magazine and the international alternative magazine Nexus, he fights conservatism, spiritual sterility, fast food knowledge and progress and everything that kills humanistic visions today, everything that instantly suffocates the best tomorrow in its cradle. They said about the book "Petros Argyriou is a groundbreaking Northern Helladic voice, who captures in a cellular novel his heretical concerns." Dimitris G. Stefanakis "Perhaps the most chillingly true and for this very reason relentlessly cruel allegory, given by the enchanting and at the same time dark and cynical pen of Petros Argyriou. Wild Animals of the City is a fresh literary proposal, which emits its own strange light in our black and white age." George Stamkos
