“To the Greeks we turn when we are fed up with the ambiguity, the confusion, of our time.” Virginia Woolf

Discover a new passion for a very old language, a language that can express what cannot be said in any other, and is thrillingly relevant to our lives today. A language that rewards desire by giving it its own verbal form; it bequeaths to lovers a special case beyond singular and plural; it prioritizes mindfulness and dynamic presence through its own grammar. A language that can transform our relationship with time and those around us. A love song for the language of the greatest poets, philosophers, travelers, lovers, and generals who have ever existed. In the words of Marcolongo: “Greek has been the longest and most beautiful romantic story of my life.”

Whether readers are familiar with Ancient Greek or not, they will find Marcolongo's boundless enthusiasm for the subject utterly contagious.
