Narration Conducive To Books A Man
"What's the point anyway — Of suffering, dying? It teaches us to live, boy. A man who does not struggle does not live, he survives." (quote from the book) The book is a pseudo-biography about Alexandros Panagoulis written in the form of a novel. Fallaci had an intense romantic relationship with Panagoulis. She uses the novel to put forth her view that Panagoulis was assassinated by a vast conspiracy, a view widely shared by many Greeks.

This is a fabulous book, by Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci. I read it years ago and it has stayed with me. Really worth reading if you can find a copy.One of the most impressive mixtures of truth and fiction I ever read.
I admire Alekos Panagoulis a lot and this book was a good reading if you want to know what he represented and what he did. Being a greek myself i feel very connected to this man and fallacis' book made me love him a little more. My concerns regard the story she is telling, it is too personal and she is overreacting in many chapters.

"A man" is the third book I read by Oriana Fallaci and I never get tired of her style, her long, beautiful sentences and capable use of words. I can't imagine how difficult has been for her telling the story of the man she had loved, a very sad story, which cannot help making you hate tyrannies and their mechanisms more and more as you read along. The book is about the life of Alekos Panagulis, from the moment he tried to kill Georgios Papadopoulos, leader of the junta which ruled Greece from
Although she became bitter towards the muslims in the end of her life, but this book is a masterpiece and she had a great effect of us - Iranian women - on our struggle towards liberty and freedom.....it is so sad that she said those words in the end........I don't know the reason but I respect her...Her books are beautiful and good reports of what was going on ...The things which we didn't know or were not allowed to know. May her soul be in peace.

He was captured, tortured and imprisoned for many years for his unsuccessful attempt on Georgios Papadopoulos. After the restoration of democracy, he was elected to the
One of the best account read so far on the partial life facts of a man such as Alekos Panagulis. More than an account, she wrote an history of a man and along with it she wrote history that is in no book. I had a very high curiosity about all the story while reading the book and I was researching and reading. This is superb.
