The Genius Language. Nine Reasons to Fall in Love with Greek

Ancient Greek, forever plunged into silence, still astonishes with its beauty, depth, and humanity. In the age of social networks and messengers, when our speech is rapidly simplifying and turning into a set of emojis, Andrea Marcolongo, a writer and... journalist, a graduate of a classical lyceum, suggests turning to the dead language to resurrect all that living languages lose. Her book, which became an unexpected bestseller in Italy and France and was then translated into all major European languages, is not an academic grammar, but a sensual and passionate confession of love for the "genius" ancient Greek.
