O gnostos kai agnostos Charilaos Trikoupis

This book presents a concise picture of the public and private life of Charilaos Trikoupis. Trikoupis's major contribution to the establishment of the parliamentary system in Greece, his interest in the railways and large-scale public works, his economic programme and the associated loans and taxes, his foreign policy, and his efforts to reorganise the public administration system and the army are all well-known aspects of his career. The other, less well-known side of him involves his character, his daily habits, his behaviour, and even his love life.
