Almost seventy years of history separate the literary work of Mario Greco from the posthumous commentary of his son Libero, an in-depth analysis of a considerable part of the history of the second half of the twentieth century, a century that saw the fates of the world overturn.
Mario Greco, magistrate and philosopher, died in 1951 in 1951, leaving a collection of intense humanity's crepuscular poetry and other fiction writings.
Ananke is a novel that tends to tell in a veiled way the unease that lives Mario Greco in carrying out the complex work of Public Prosecutor.
Free Greco, the son, this discomfort has always known him and uses his father's story as an opportunity to raise a series of reflections on a mentality that would change from there to some time, having to deal with a changed and very different society.
It should be noted that the Fifties saw a burst of technological and informatics innovations on the world stage that were unknown until some time ago: a real reversal of roles and customs that would change not only the mentality but also the behavior. From those years onwards things will no longer be the same. In the houses the television comes into use, the first computers appear, in the sky the jets fly, the cities are rebuilt, poverty decreases, you look to the future with less anxiety.
Libero Greco of these and other aspects wants to tell us by submitting his father's literary work to an affectionate but firm critique without branching out. He wants to measure himself on the generational and cultural level of that time.
