"Blow up the Acropolis" was the 1944 call to action by the surrealist circle the Harbingers of Chaos. Sixty years later, a young man obliges. The Parthenon has been destroyed, the city orphaned.

How will he be punished for this unspeakable act of violence? What does it mean for Greece, now deprived of its greatest symbol? This provocative tale reveals the unique dilemma of a country still searching for an identity beyond its past as the birthplace of Western civilization"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Parthenon (Athens, Greece) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Terrorism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cultural property $x Destruction and pillage $z Greece $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Cullen, John, $d 1942- $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Chrysopoulos, Chrestos, 1968- author. $t Parthenon bomber. $d New York : Other Press, 2017 $z 9781590518373 $w (DLC) 2017010146 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171003031849.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1C21D0402FC611E7A3652FCCDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
