This collection of satirical poetry by Georgios Souris features the character Fasoulis, a philosopher who comments on the human condition. Written in the late nineteenth century, the text uses a mix of formal and colloquial Greek, often incorporating humor and irony. The vocabulary is varied, blending classical references with everyday language. The sentences are structured with rhythmic complexity and frequent use of archaic forms, making this a challenging but rewarding read for those interested in the evolution of modern Greek verse.

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 1 h at a native pace, spread over 3 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
