Representaion As Books Z

Το μυθιστόρημα-ντοκουμέντο για τη δολοφονία του Γρηγόρη Λαμπράκη (1963). Ένα βιβλίο-σύμβολο τα χρόνια της δικτατορίας, ένα μυθιστόρημα-σταθμός στην ελληνική λογοτεχνία. Γραμμένο εν θερμώ από το συγγραφέα σχεδόν παράλληλα με την εξέλιξη των γεγονότων και της δίκης που συντάραξε την Ελλάδα, το "Ζ" εκδόθηκε για πρώτη φορά στα μέσα της ταραγμένης δεκαετίας του 1960.

"Λογοτεχνικό ρεπορτάζ" ή "φανταστικό ντοκιμαντέρ ενός εγκλήματος" για τον ίδιο τον Βασίλη Βασιλικό, το "Ζ" κινείται στα όρια μεταξύ λογοτεχνίας και δημοσιογραφίας με το συγγραφέα να ενορχηστρώνει τα επίσημα ντοκουμέντα της υπόθεσης Λαμπράκη. Ο Βασίλης Βασιλικός εξηγεί: "Είναι κάτι ανάλογο με το χαρακτηρισμό -μη μυθιστορηματικό μυθιστόρημα- 'non fiction novel' που λανσάρισε στο "Εν Ψυχρώ" ο Τρούμαν Καπότε. Σημαίνει, με άλλα λόγια, μια περίπτωση, που θα ήταν, κάτω από άλλες περιστάσεις, φανταστική ή μυθιστορηματική αλλά συμβαίνει να ’ναι εκατό τα εκατό πραγματική και μη μυθιστορηματική. Δηλαδή το Ζ υπακούει στους νόμους ενός έργου φαντασίας, έχει δική του νομοτέλεια, αυτόνομη, μόνο που τυχαίνει όλα αυτά να μην είναι διόλου φανταστικά, αλλά μια πιστή και υπεύθυνη αντιγραφή της πραγματικότητας" (1966).

Column Appertaining To Books Z

Its a bit dated for me; having watched the film based on the book years ago. My expectation was for a faster energy & more tense vibe-not so much in the book. Im still reading & will update this review.

4.5 stars, really. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend if you like historical fiction that's more of a thinly fictionalized account of a real-life event. Kind of reads like the movie Vantage Point with Denzel Washington, jumping around to many different viewpoints of the same event.

An incredible affirmation of lifeAnd an extraordinarily exploration of grief in all the unchartered waters.My late parents sourced an early English translation of this amazing book for my 21st birthdayMy extraordinary edition was published in 1969 by Macdonald & Co (Publishers) Ltd.This a book which will stay beside me for the remainder of my days.It is heartbreaking.

The letter Z was banned by the Greek government for two years. This excellent book tells the story of the political assassination and attempted coverup that led to that ban.

Perhaps this is one book where the material is subversive enough that I understand why there are elements in this world who would like to see this banned. And for that reason, also for the reason that I came across this novel by virtue of seeing the list of 1000 novels that people should read in their lifetime by The Guardian, I decided to pick this up from the library.So what is this about?This novel presents a rather thinly fictionalized account of the assassination of Greek politician

This book is a thought-provoking lyrical work of art, of politics, and of the ways people make their lives in a corrupt system and eventually bring it to heel. It is a somewhat fictionalized account of the assassination of Z., who is based on the real-life politician Gregory Lambrakis, and the way the country deals with the aftermath of his death. The book provides sharp insight into the Greek government of the 1960s and 1970s, which was an authoritarian right-wing government made up of Nazi
