Raise Your Soul: A Personal History of Resistance

An intimate portrait of Yanis Varoufakis’s political awakening, told through the history of his extraordinary family

'Gripping and unforgettable. It reads like a thriller’ BRIAN ENO

Dramatic in scope and deep in feeling, Raise Your Soul traces three generations swept up in the whirlwind of history, across a century of occupation, civil war, Cold War fracture and economic crisis, from 1924 to the present.

At its heart are Eleni, Anna, Trisevgeni, Georgia and Danaë – the women who shaped the visionary economist most, and whose resilience and courage inspire us to resist the forces of authoritarianism that still haunt our world.
