Written with compassion and wit, it reads like a thriller BRIAN ENO\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen Yanis Varoufakis was eight years old, his uncle made him a model airplane out of matchsticks and cigarette papers; all he could find in his cell. Yet, to his dismay, his mother Eleni broke open the fragile gift, revealing a hidden message: instructions for fellow dissidents ahead of their forthcoming court martial. It was 1969 and Uncle Panayis was a political prisoner, captured and tortured for resisting the military dictatorship.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDramatic in scope and deep in feeling, Raise Your Soul is an intimate portrait of three generations caught up in the whirlwind of history. It is also a remarkable narrative spanning one hundred years, beginning in post-colonial Egypt in the 1920s, and then tracing Greece s tumultuous century through Nazi occupation, communist resistance, civil war, Cold War fracture, fascist dictatorship, socialist revival and present-day economic crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAt its heart are the women whose resilience, defiance and courage inspired the visionary economist most: Eleni, Anna, Trisevgeni, Georgia and Dana . Through their lives, Varoufakis not only lays bare his own political soul, but confronts the dark forces of authoritarianism that still haunt Europe and beyond, reigniting hope in all of us that we can rise once more.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is not just Varoufakis s story, but ours IRVINE WELSH\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Beautiful and inspiring, I couldn't put it down'ROSIE HOLT\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847929075\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.2 x 6.0 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodley Head","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50752705823024,"sku":"Prakash_9781847929075","price":800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81IHxyRlsVL.jpg?v=1770713709","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/raise-your-soul-a-personal-history-of-resistance","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
