Aromata & Chromata, Scents and Colours of Greece; A crash course in Greekness de Gekas, George - 2010

Toronto, 2010 The book is written in English primarily for Diaspora Greeks and Philhellenes. Anyone interested in his or her Greek ancestry, will find in this book a wealth of information, and breathtaking originality in approach and content. Non Greek speaking Diaspora Greeks or those who are not at great ease with the Greek language will undoubtedly benefit the most from this publication. It will answer many outstanding or unarticulated questions about what it means to be of Greek heritage and culture. It underlines all Greek contributions to western civilization and makes every person of Greek ancestry to feel few inches taller. It will bring many Hellenes around the world closer to Hellenism and to their roots. In fact this book demonstrates and makes the Greek and Greek civilization relevant to the western culture today. This will strengthen the spirit of Hellenism in Canadian-born Greeks. The future of philhellenism and Hellenism in Canada may depend on the young generations of Greek-Canadians to whom this book is addressed to. Perhaps Hellenism's greatest hope is the many incarnate Hellenes who like or even have a passion for Greece. After all being Greek is not a matter of nationality or language. Being Greek is a matter of mentality. It is a matter of an upbringing respectful of Greek culture. 278p.. Soft Cover. New Book from Publisher.
