Pages That Bring Us Together

An initiative for adults that enriches the reading experience and fosters literary dialogue. Participants select a book from the Lending Collection’s “History and Memory in Modern Greek Prose. The Greek Past from the 19th Century to 1960,” and spend time reading it in silence. In small groups, they share experiences, thoughts, and feelings, delving into the literary representations of history.
