Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Every city in the network held a piece of the secret.Athens holds the origin.Dr Nikos Papadopoulos has been staring at an inscription below the Kerameikos district for three years.He has just found the key to read it.A stone older than the institution it preceded. A principle stated before anyone knew it needed protecting. And the discovery that the network the world has been tracing across seven cities did not begin in Alexandria - it began here, in Athens, a century before the Mouseion existed.When an encoded stele leads Nikos through the archaeology, archives and layered history of Athens, he discovers that the founding principle of the greatest library in the ancient world was first argued in a sealed space below the ancient cemetery district - simultaneously in Greek and in Aramaic, by scholars from two traditions who understood they were recording the same truth. But someone else has read the permit application. And in a city where every stone is contested, the line between scholarly authority and institutional possession is razor thin.Joined by Katerina Stavros, an Ephoreia archaeologist who controls the excavation permit and has her own precise ideas about what the discovery means and who it belongs to, Nikos follows the trail through the Kerameikos, the Ancient Agora, the Acropolis Museum, the National Archaeological Museum, Lycabettus Hill and the port of Piraeus.The closer they get to the truth, the larger it becomes.Because what is buried in Athens is not simply the oldest deposit in the network.It is the argument that made the network necessary.And what it reveals changes the meaning of everything that came before it - and points toward a city where the chain was held together for thirteen centuries, waiting for someone to trace it back to here.The Athens Deposit is a historical mystery and adventure set in one of the world's most ancient cities, combining real locations, authentic history and fiction in a story that invites readers to see Athens differently.Includes Athens, For Real, an exclusive feature revealing the real locations, monuments and historical facts behind the story - allowing you to follow Nikos and Katerina's journey through the Greek capital yourself.Read the story. Walk the city.
