«System is the most formidable enemy, the mechanism of annihilation, the cross of man. The System is the sneaky way he found evil to dominate the world, a mincer which obscures man that makes him similar to puppet, repressed without freedom, pride, without face. This enemy has never ceased to fight the Samarakis in this has not stopped a moment to resist, in his own way, that is his word. Whether it whisper or scream or a finger writes in the air, the complaint is clear, straightforward, blunt. The complaint is tender and relentless, as the writer who articulates. Against the System. Against Totalitarianism. Against the spiritual and moral death of man. With stories in the Passport, the Samarakis transforms the harsh raw material of the junta, and his own experiences from dictatorial period, and synthesizes a common myth, real and tangible. The passport is read as a call of urgency and always crucial. He invites us into existential alertness and action that restores cons istency between words and deeds. Only then are the genuine revolutions, and thus claiming the top man given to him and no one can deprive him: the same freedom ».
