The ancient Greek language, forever plunged into silence, still amazes with its beauty, depth and humanity. In the age of social media and instant messaging, when our speech is rapidly becoming simplified and transformed into a set of emojis, Andrea Marcolongo, a writer, journalist, and graduate of a classical lyceum, suggests turning to a dead language in order to resurrect everything that living languages ​​are losing.

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 declaration of love for the “brilliant” ancient Greek.
