Melia and Myrto are two sisters living on an Aegean island. They have their own secret code of communication, they love hearing their grandpa’s stories, they look forward to be reunited with their summer friends in a few months… But what they really love the most are the magical stories of the wildcat’s adventures, that their cousin Nikos recounts. The magic wildcat is a stuffed feline that stays locked in the living room inside a glass cabinet. He has one blue glass eye and one black, and he uses one or the other depending on whether it’s in a good mood or not. One summer day, something will happen that will upend all of their lives. Who might want to harm the wildcat? Set on a Greek island during the 1930’s as the nation is forced into a Fascist dictatorship, the story is told through the eyes of a young girl, who relates the experiences of her family as they are forced to accept life under a repressive government. The liveliness of the dialogue through a child’s perspective is combined with the seriousness and depth of the theme, to form a timeless, universal story about humanity, democracy and freedom. With respect to the original text and its spirit and atmosphere, it is now being adapted into a graphic novel for a new generation of readers.
