This novel, published in 1921, is set during the late nineteenth century in the context of the Italian military presence in Ethiopia. The language reflects the formal, literary Greek of the early twentieth century, featuring complex sentence structures and a specialized military vocabulary. It is a demanding read for learners due to its descriptive prose and historical terminology. The narrative focuses on the daily life and professional relationship of two officers stationed at a remote outpost, exploring themes of duty and isolation.

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 41 min at a native pace, spread over 6 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
