Wildcat Under Glass by Alki Zei (translated by Edward Fenton)
“In this beautifully written adventure of the effect on an average family of the Fascist dictatorship in Greece in the late nineteen-thirties, comedy and tragedy are intertwined to make a book that is memorable, exciting, funny, and heartbreaking at once. Alki Zei sets her story during the period beginning August 4, 1936, that long day when only the black eye of the wildcat was open, the day the Fascist dictator took over Greece, changing lives, splitting loyalties, as it does in Melia’s [the main character’s] own family.”

These come from a non-smoking and no pet home. I would prefer to be paid by a money order (in which case I will ship immediately) but will also accept a personal check (in which case I will ship once your check clears). Sorry, but I do not take paypal. If you would like insurance, add an additional $1.65.
Feel free to email with questions. If you are serious about purchasing, please give your name and address in confirmation. Email me at kareni29@ yahoo.com (take out the space).
