Power and Defiance is a soul-provoking saga that will take you on an intellectual journey from mind to heart to soul several times. During this journey, you will be empowered to determine your position in the social structure – to abuse or to advance.
Additionally, the book contains a wealth of information, written cohesively, as it integrates historical facts with ideology, philosophy, and personal observations.
Abuse of power is an egocentric phenomenon that benefits the few, whereas a daring approach benefits your surroundings, your community, and ultimately spreads to the entire social structure.
You will meet and hopefully come to empathize with and respect the participating individuals who lived in complex times and were caught in the whirlpool of history, with much to cherish, share, and overcome, as they searched for the formula of life.
A formula that without a doubt exists.
“My approach to writing is not to just recount adventures, but through the expression of feelings to outpour emotions and insight to encourage the reader to think, to find hope in the eternal struggle for the meaning of life.” Nikos Ligidakis.
About the author
Award-winning author Nikos Ligidakis writes with clarity and passion in an ardent voice that is both clear and deeply felt. His unique style of writing transcends the straightforward adventure narrative, resonating with the reader on a profound level.
Ligidakis states, “My approach to writing is not to just recount adventures, but through the expression of feelings to outpour emotions and insight to encourage the reader to think, to find hope in the eternal struggle for the meaning of life.”
Such profound matters require not only deep thoughts in the writing, but also equally reflective thoughts in the reading. The reader will find such thoughts throughout the pages of Power and Defiance, and will hopefully be challenged to recognize the heroism of those individuals who are perceived as ordinary, while simultaneously re-examining the character of those who proclaim themselves to be righteous and just.
“Deep reading that cultivated empathy and imagination must be kept alive.”
Power and Defiance is a labor of love, about the integrity of individual freedom and the intense struggle for social justice.
Nikos dedicates his time to coaching new authors, encouraging and assisting them to develop their unique writing style.
Ligidakis has founded several charitable organizations, with the most notable being his Thanksgiving Project to Feed the Hungry, a program that provided food to hundreds of thousands during its 21-year run.
Power and Defiance,
The Human Struggle for Social Justice.
