Journalist, Makis Provatas discusses with Maria Efthimiou, a History Professor at Athens University. Thucydides said, "History is a philosophy via examples." Simultaneously, History is the History of the People. Those fragile, in danger, exposed creatures to every event and moment in history. Those same people that have the right of mind, thought, will, feelings, aims, goals, unselfishness, sense of time, place and a sense of death. And at the same time can intervene in nature, in their lives and other factors. To comprehend, their little lives. This book presents times, events, facts, people, and societies, aims, goals, truth, lies, confirmations. The journey undoubtedly is intertwined with Maria Efthimious personal history, and her memories in life that led her with such passion and faith to the study and teaching of History. History, a study that joins memories and time, in their tiredless individual and joined quests. A journey, covered in the book, that takes us from Prehistoric era to today. In reality, it's not that big of a journey... Only a few kilometres.
