"The End of the Road", published in 1957 in 52 installments in the newspaper Acropolis, with five illustrations by M. Gallia, is now released for the first time as a book. It is the desperate love story of a solitary mature charming man and a stunning young woman, with green eyes and rosy cheeks, who is the object of desire for many men - artists, socialites, and the wealthy - and has exhausted her body and soul with all kinds of lovers.
The story takes place in Ekali, in wealthy Athenian houses, in art galleries, in the haunts of "modern poets" and artists in the city center, in Lymidi, in "Zonar's", in "Brazil", in the cosmopolitan "Stars" of Glyfada, but also in the summer vacations of cosmopolitan and cosmopolitan Mykonos. Maris, often caustic and discreetly critical, sets up a magnificent scene in his novel and presents us with the portrait of urban Athens in 1957."
