Modern Greek Literature ⁺⋆˖⊹ ࣪ ﹏𓊝﹏𓂁﹏⊹ ࣪
I created this list because I feel like Greece has been obscured by the long shadow of its classical heritage… there is more to Greek literature than the Odyssey and the Iliad. This will be updated with more books once PageBound allows a feature to transfer Greek-written titles from the Goodreads database onto here… right now it is a little tricky, as PB’s database isn’t as comprehensive as GR’s.

I feel the same! Greek history is often obscured by its ancient history with its modern culture and history forgotten and unknown.
Truly and genuinely, thank you for this list! I entered “Greek” into the search bar under lists, and the first 15 entries were related to Ancient Greek Mythology. Which is great, but I want contemporary Modern Greek stuff, too!
I will be in Rhodes for a few days – does anyone know of a good local author whose book would be worthwhile to take back with me? :D
This is absolute perfection, thanks so much for compiling!! I am keen to read more greek authors, and hopefully also in Greek. Any recommendations for books that are written in a kind of straightforward style that can be understood well by someone who is not fluent fluent?
Also, as a side note, any book that is on goodreads can be imported to pb by pasting in the link! Within a short amount of time it should be there. Just in case you still had books missing that you want to add ☺️
i am looking forward to seeing more beloved books and authors in different languages be added to PB! Lovely list
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! It needs to be a quest!!!!!!!! May I also recomend some Άλκη Ζέη?
