“So, tell me what happened here, so I can find the thread again.” A book about the lyrical world of Thanasis Papakonstantinou, who has been greatly loved thanks to his songs. In the two parts of this poetic biography sketch – “With His Own Stride” and “Themes and Origins” – the social dimension of Papakonstantinou's lyrics is examined, among other things, which in various ways capture the intensity of existential anxiety, as well as their relationship with folk songs and modern poetry. Through characteristic examples of songs, an attempt is also made to understand the creator's perspective on the world and himself, society and the individual, the present and the past, memory and vision, the East and the West. 

Thanasis Papakonstantinou himself contributed to the composition of this book, willingly answering the author's questions about his poetic worldview.
