A Man by Oriana Fallaci

Powerful, passionate, and deeply political, A Man is Oriana Fallaci’s searing novel inspired by her real-life relationship with Greek resistance leader Alexandros Panagoulis. Set against the brutal backdrop of Greece’s military dictatorship, the novel tells the story of a man who defies tyranny, endures imprisonment and torture, and refuses to surrender his ideals. Through his struggle, Fallaci explores freedom, love, and the price of rebellion — weaving together an intimate portrait of devotion and defiance. This is not just a love story, but a cry for human dignity and courage in the face of oppression.
