Εκδόσεις Μεταίχμιο: Όταν έφυγαν τ' Αγάλματα - Δαρλάση Αγγελική

Once upon a time there was a girl who had heard the statues sing, had danced with them in the moonlight, had seen them cry. Because the statues come to life at night. Angelina knew this well, since she grew up almost inside the museum. Besides, the fact that she had one whole hand and one half, a "cursed" hand, made her look even more like them. With the exception of Tiko, her only fleshly friend, the statues were her best friends. When Mussolini declared war on Greece, the fear that the darkness of Nazism would prevail became even stronger. And those associated with the museum, from archaeologists to ordinary workers, all shared a common anguish, all protecting the same secret, which seemed to be summed up in a single phrase: "Let's hurry...". Angelina will want to know that secret and will help Tikos hide his. A deeply human and anti-war story about friendship, adulthood, the search for identity and the need to preserve cultural heritage, based on the true story of the hiding of antiquities of the National Archaeological Museum, during the Greco-Italian War. (From the presentation on the back cover of the book)
