Description

Let's take an exciting journey through the early, turbulent years of the Greek state. At the center is King Otto, the young Bavarian who took on the task of governing a people full of expectations, contradictions, and wounds from the Revolution. Against a backdrop of political intrigues, social conflicts, and great national challenges, unknown yet decisive moments of that period unfold. Otto is presented not only as a monarch but also as a human being, with his weaknesses, delusions, and dreams. Through its pages, we see History as it truly is: human, thrilling, and always relevant.

Anyone who said that History is boring is a big liar!

The most exciting plot and the most unforgettable characters are not born from a writer's mind but from life itself. After all, History is not just dry names, dates, and events. It is moments etched in the collective subconscious and decisions that shaped the destinies of entire peoples. It is faces we loved, faces we hated, and others we completely ignore. People so different and yet so similar to us. With passions, weaknesses, bright and dark moments, capable of the best and the worst.

The puzzle of the History of the Greek state consists of pieces of glory, heroism, grandeur, and national pride, but also others filled with pain, blood, divisions, and betrayals. All these shaped us and led us to where we are today. After all, it is the imprint of all these faces and events from which we cannot escape.

We will fill with pride, laugh, cry, be surprised, and turn our faces away in shame. In short, get ready for an exciting journey through time. Let's go back to the early years of the Greek state. To the years of Otto.
