Written by a distinguished Professor of Greek at the University of Birmingham and former Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, this rigorous yet accessible manual instructs readers in the grammar, vocabulary, and syntax of Modern Greek, bridging the ancient Hellenic tradition with the vibrant spoken language of contemporary Greece.\n\nThomson, a renowned classical scholar and linguist of considerable intellectual breadth, presents the subject with methodical clarity and scholarly precision, grounding Modern Greek firmly within its rich historical and cultural context. The manual argues implicitly that understanding the modern form of the language is inseparable from appreciating the civilisation that produced it — a conviction that lends the work a depth rarely found in conventional language primers. Whether you are approaching the language for the first time or seeking to consolidate an existing knowledge of Greek, this volume will prove a rewarding and challenging companion that raises a compelling question: how well do we truly understand a culture until we can speak its language?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210258227419,"sku":"2026200017262-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/50c76de5-74db-4954-978a-2d1502fe112a.png?v=1788268142","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200017262-secondhand-a-manual-of-modern-greek","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
