This book by IOANNIS KAPODISTRIAS presents in detail the great Greek Political Hermit, creator of the new Greek state, as a Leader, as a Governor, as a Diplomat and as a Man.
The greatness of the man is highlighted by what he applied as Governor, declaring:
"... As long as my personal income is enough for me to live, I refuse to touch even a penny of public money, while we are in the midst of ruins and people sunk in extreme poverty."
This was the first Governor of Greece!
