Stavros Tsakyrakis never feared in his life. He believed unwaveringly in the ideas of justice and freedom. He possessed rare intellectual and moral virtues. He was a charming university professor and conversationalist, who became a magnet for distinguished people of letters and arts of our time.

The book collects the main writings he published in the last decade of his life. They constitute a rare and valuable knowledge bank since, as he himself admitted, they record his thoughts and concerns during perhaps his most fertile and productive period. In these texts, the reader has the opportunity to come into contact with the Professor's distinctive ideas on a plethora of issues, from democracy, politics, and the Constitution to human rights, freedom of speech, and justice.
