Praise for The Ingenious Language "Andrea Marcolongo is today's Montaigne. She possesses an amazing familiarity with the classics combined with the ease and lightness of those who surf the web. But Montaigne's incandescent injunctions are all there: the humility not just to know but to accept who one is, the courage to love, and finally the joy of steering one's course in this strange voyage called life. There is wisdom and grace here to last the ages."--André Aciman, author of Call Me by Your Name "[Andrea Marcolongo's] declaration of love for Ancient Greek does more than celebrate the virtues of its grammar, it shows us modern fools how this language can help us understand ourselves better and live a better life."-- Le Monde " The Ingenious Language is not a grammar text, but a love story with a language and its ability to affect our senses. [ . . . ] Rather than reducing the strangeness of ancient Greek to a list of rules to be memorized, Marcolongo uses it to fascinate us, transforming nine linguistic peculiarities into existential questions."-- La Stampa " The Ingenious Language is an extraordinary, absolutely original book. [ . . . ] A young classics scholar, Marcolongo is driven by an obsession: demonstrating that, with ancient Greek, life is more exciting, colorful, and attractive."-- Italian Association for Classic Culture "Marcolongo writes about ancient Greek in a new, non-academic way. Her aim is to excite our interest for a language that today seems more alive and necessary than ever, because of its ability to 'tell complex things with simple, true, and honest words'."-- Corriere della Sera " The Ingenious Language is a love letter which aims to the dispel the dread that surrounds ancient Greek. Marcolongo insists on the current relevance of a language that many consider dead."-- Rivista Studio, Praise for The Ingenious Language "Andrea Marcolongo is today's Montaigne.
