This book gathers excerpts from the writings of modern Greek authors and creators, with the aim of defining a contemporary and realistic quest for the meaning of Greek identity.

The anthology aims to function as a "primer" for the spelling out of answers to the question: If the Greek origin of the modern Greek today has a substantial positive impact on their life, it is an impact cleansed from superficial emotional fixations and nationalist ideologies.

If being called Greeks may represent, in our personal lives and in tangible daily life, some extraordinary capacity or particular richness of quality of life.
