Οι λησταί στα πρόθυρα των Αθηνών
Οι λησταί στα πρόθυρα των Αθηνών του Μ. Καραγάτση παρουσιάζονται για πρώτη φορά σε βιβλίο. Ένα αθησαύριστο, έως σήμερα, μυθιστόρημα του δημιουργού της "Μεγάλης Χίμαιρας", του "Συνταγματάρχη Λιάπκιν" κ.α. γραμμένο με τη μορφή που δοξάσανε παγκοσμίως μεγάλοι πεζογράφοι: τη μορφή των «συνεχειών» για μια καθημερινή εφημερίδα και στόχο το ευρύ, «λαϊκό» κοινό. Ο Μ. Καραγάτσης, χωρίς ν’ απιστεί στο μεγάλο του ταλέντο, εναποθέτει μέσα στους "Ληστάς στα πρόθυρα των Αθηναίων" τα κυριαρχικά αφηγηματικά του γνωρίσματα: γοργή γραφή, νευρώδες και διαυγές ύφος, ακριβή γνώση του περιβάλλοντος χώρου σε σχέση με την ψυχολογία των ηρώων του.

About the author
M. Karagatsis
55 books338 followersM. Karagatsis (Greek: Μ. Καραγάτσης) is the pen name of the Greek novelist, journalist, critic and playwright Dimitris Rodopoulos. He was born in Athens, lived in Larissa and studied law in France.
The pen name M. Karagatsis is the name by which the novelist is generally known. The initial "M" stands for Mitya, the Russian diminutive of Dimitris. "Karagatsis" is derived from the "Karagatsi" tree, under the shadow of which he used to write as a young writer.
Karagatsis has been characterized as primarily a prose writer of the illusory reality of persons and situations. His writing is bold, sensual, with great imagination and a unique narrative style, and is often studied by Greek students.
His first three novels (Colonel Liapkin, Chimaera and Junkermann) compose the trilogy "Acclimazation under Apollo" about foreigners who live and work in Greece. Karagatsis sets these books in modern cosmopolitan Greece, in contrast with the stereotype that Greek life is conservative and countrified.

Ο αφηγητής θεωρεί πως οι ληστές πρέπει να εμπιστευτούν τις υποσχέσεις του κράτους και του στέμματος. Ο ίδιος αφηγητής που με αυτό το διήγημα υποτίθεται καυτηριάζει το κράτος. Όπου η χωροφυλακή θα το έσωζε από τους ληστές. Της πήρε 100+ χρόνια.
