Krátky popis
In her The New York Times best-selling Between You &,amp, Me
(ISBN 978 0 393 352146), Mary Norris delighted readers with her
irreverent tales of pencils, punctuation and punctiliousness over
three decades in The New Yorker’s celebrated copy department. In
Greek to Me, she delivers another wise and witty paean to the art
of expressing oneself clearly and convincingly, this time filtered
through her greatest passion: all things Greek. From convincing her
The New Yorker bosses to pay for Ancient Greek studies to
travelling the sacred way in search of Persephone, Greek to Me is
an unforgettable account of both her lifelong love affair with
words and her solo adventures in the land of olive trees and
ouzo.Along the way, Norris explains how the alphabet originated in
Greece, makes the case for Athena as a feminist icon and reveals
the surprising ways Greek helped form English. Filled with Norris’s
memorable encounters with Greek words, Greek gods, Greek wine—and
more than a few Greek waiters—Greek to Me is the Comma Queen’s
fresh take on Greece and the exotic yet strangely familiar language
that so deeply influences our own.
