The Great Chimera is a Greek Novel, which is worth it to discover, by reading it in Greek, or otherwise the translation in another language.
This Greek novel is written by M. Karagatsis and is considered a modern Greek classic. It tells the story of a young French woman, Marian, who falls in love with a Greek sea-captain, marries him, and moves with him to the Aegean island of Syros (where the Omilo summer courses take place!)
