"In a classroom in Seoul, a young woman watches her Greek language teacher at the blackboard. She tries to speak but has lost her voice. Her teacher finds himself drawn to the silent woman, for day by day he is losing his sight. Soon the two discover a deeper pain binds them together. For her, in the space of just a few months, she has lost both her mother and the custody battle for her nine-year-old son. For him, it's the pain of growing up between Korea and Germany, being torn between two cultures and languages, and the fear of losing his independence. Greek Lessons tells the story of two ordinary people brought together at a moment of private anguish-the fading light of a man losing his vision meeting the silence of a woman who has lost her language. Yet these are the very things that draw them to each other. Slowly the two discover a profound sense of unity-their voices intersecting with startling beauty, as they move from darkness to light, from silence to breath and expression"-- Literature Korean fiction 26245 Smith, Deborah, translator. 25861 Yae Won, Emily, translator. 26246 GEN 1 14857 14857 0 0 ddc 0 0 GEN CLIITBBS CLIITBBS 2025-02-21 31 524.25 1 1 895.73 HAN/G 11209 2026-06-12 2026-02-06 16:48:41 2026-02-06 699.00 2025-02-21 GEN
