Greek to Me: Adventures of the Comma Queen, Paperback/Mary Norris

Descriere & specificații

Mary Norris, The New Yorker 's Comma Queen and best-selling author of Between You & Me , has had a lifelong love affair with words. In Greek to Me , she delivers a delightful paean to the art of self-expression through accounts of 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 in which Greek helped form English. Greek to Me is filled with Norris's memorable encounters with Greek words, Greek gods, Greek wine--and more than a few Greek men.
