"This book is my brightest answer to what it means to live" -- Han Kang

One day, a woman suddenly becomes unable to speak.
A man slowly loses his eyesight.
The woman begins to learn classical Greek in order to regain her lost words.
The man, a Greek teacher, becomes interested in her "silence."

今月は、ノーベル賞受賞作家ハン・ガンの『ギリシャ語の時間』について話し合います。

「この本は、生きていくということに対する、私の最も明るい答え」――ハン・ガン

ある日突然言葉を話せなくなった女。
すこしずつ視力を失っていく男。

女は失われた言葉を取り戻すため古典ギリシャ語を習い始める。
ギリシャ語講師の男は彼女の ”沈黙” に関心をよせていく。
