This collection of fables by Ioannis Vilaras offers a glimpse into the life and literary spirit of a nineteenth century Greek intellectual. The text provides a biographical account of the author, detailing his education and his experiences as a physician during a turbulent historical period. For a learner, the vocabulary reflects the transition between older linguistic forms and modern Greek. The sentences are often long and descriptive, requiring careful attention to syntax and the historical context of the narrative.

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 42 min at a native pace, spread over 27 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
