The whirlwind of Mikis Theodorakis - musician, politician, lover, jester - leads the reader through one hundred lives, in the panorama of two hundred years, in nine chapters: The Blue Girl of Buenos Aires, The Blue Wagon on the Great Red Train, Like a Western Wind: From Blindness to Blue Vision, The Man Who Wanted to Become Beethoven plus Bonaparte, The Savior in 33 variations, The Ghost Ship or The Flying Cretan, "Shoot the Clocks": The Ascension, In the Crossroads: "My Andreas!" "My Kostas!", The Healer: The Eumenides.

The Salt of God meets, through the cracks of time, Beethoven and Wagner, Shostakovich and Dimitris Mitropoulos, Manos Hatzidakis and Yannis Xenakis, Vasilis Tsitsanis - they exchange the secrets of their lives and works. He lifts the veil of Isis from the women of his life, shares with them immortality. He brings unknown moments to life with Lenin, Stalin, Tito, Che, Fidel, Mitterrand, as well as with Konstantinos Karamanlis, Andreas Papandreou, Kostas Mitsotakis, Harilaos Florakis, Leonidas Kyrkos, Alexis Tsipras, and dozens of other personalities. In the whirlwind of Mikis' cyclone, with the pen of his close friend for decades, time changes and it makes no sense to distinguish between the living and the dead.

"Mimis, bound to me in many ways since his adolescence, always sees me as an open book - the Crucified Dionysus - and completes his own pages with the power of knowledge and his Cretan imagination. A dreaming "Pylades" penetrates into the dreams and utopias of his own "Orestes". I thank him for the challenge and innovation of the work "The Secret Mikis".
