As much as I searched, I could not find a listing of this book with its cover on the database of the National Library of Greece, and when it comes to our public libraries, they are not digitally updated, due to the poor interest the state shows for culture and literature. The list in this link: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/... does not have a section for Greece, so I could not find an alternative.
As far as a website of the pubisher is concerned, there is not one, since it is a small and old publishing house not up to date with the current technology, as it seems.
The link I provided you with is the link to an open bookselling site concerning selling and buying second-hand books. I am aware that it is typically not accepted, but apart from my bookshelf, sites like these are the only place I have found this edition in (it's the only Greek edition of this book).
If you could add the edition nonetheless, it would be incredible, however, I understand that this might be a difficult position for you.
Thank you :))

Description: "Η πραγματικότητα ούτε τέλεια ούτε φιλική ήταν ποτέ για τις κατώτερες κοινωνικές τάξεις. Υπήρχε όμως κάποια ανοχή ή εγκαρτέρηση, ανάμιχτες ίσως με λίγες ελπίδες... Τώρα κάτι αλλάζει -η οργή παίρνει τη θέση της ανοχής, που συχνά κορυφώνεται σε παράλογες εκρήξεις. Τι φταίει; κάποιο αόριστο προμήνυμα της Μεγάλης Αλλαγής; ή μήπως ο δράστης βρίσκεται στο στερέωμα -ένας κομήτης- που φάνηκε "σαν ένα διφορούμενο σημαδάκι" κι έγινε σε λίγο δυνάστης της ανθρώπινης σκέψης; Κι η λύση ποια είναι; Η επιστήμη ή ο σοσιαλισμός; Ή όλα στο τέλος θα σαρωθούν από τον πρώτο παγκόσμιο πόλεμο, που ξεσπάει σε λίγο;"
