This collection of short stories by Emmanouel Rhoides offers a glimpse into late nineteenth century Greek literature. The language is formal and reflects the era, often using vocabulary that may be challenging for modern learners. You will encounter complex sentence structures and a sophisticated tone that requires careful reading. The themes often blend observations of nature with philosophical reflections. It is a demanding but rewarding text for those looking to engage with the nuances of classical and transitional Greek prose.

Questions about this book
What level of Greek do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 4 h 11 min at a native pace, spread over 49 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
