The book "Stories from the Time Machine" is the vehicle for a journey and an acquaintance with people and situations that have marked modern Greek society. From the black marketeers of the occupation and the slap to Queen Frederiki, to the trial of Nasoutzik and the murder of Michalis Kaltzas. From Nazi Max Merten, who exterminated the Jews of Thessaloniki, to the "miracles" of Saint Athanasia and from Law 4000 on profiteering to the thief with the gladioli, the fateful Venardos.

Christos Vasilopoulos, who hosts and presents the show "Time Machine",
and chief editor Dimitris Petroploulos, after five successful years on television, bring the stories to written form. They gather the facts, testimonies, and documents that were never shown on television and, with additional research, discover more information about the protagonists and extras of the topics that in the past made headlines and sometimes determined the fate of the country.

They distinguish myth from reality, intentional lies from truth. They traverse five turbulent decades, introducing our recent past to those who are unaware and reminding unknown aspects to those who experienced it with the intensity and intentions of the developments.

The stories from the Time Machine are a book for the whole family: for those who must not forget and for those who must learn.
For those who still remember the last execution of a prisoner in Greece and for those who are unaware that Eric Clapton lived in our country for a few months and jammed with Greek musicians in a bar in Kypseli.
For those who idolized the legendary Jim Londo and for those who have heard the name of the sorrowful princess Saragia but do not know why she lost her throne.
A book of patriotism, because ultimately our homeland is not only the plains and the high mountains.
