“时不时地，语言会像串肉一样刺入她的睡眠，每晚都会把她惊醒好几次。”

在首尔的一间教室里，一名年轻女子看着她的希腊语老师在黑板前。她试图说话，但失声了。她的老师发现自己被这个沉默的女人吸引住了，因为他的视力一天天下降。

很快，两人发现一种更深的痛苦将他们联系在一起。对她来说，在短短几个月的时间里，她失去了母亲，并失去了对九岁儿子的监护权之争。对他来说，这是在韩国和德国之间长大的痛苦，在两种文化和语言之间徘徊，以及失去独立性的恐惧。

《希腊课》讲述了两个普通人在私人痛苦时刻走到一起的故事——一个失去视力的男人的微弱光芒与一个失去语言的女人的沉默相遇。然而，正是这些吸引着他们彼此的东西。慢慢地，两人发现了一种深刻的团结感——他们的声音以惊人的美感交织在一起，从黑暗走向光明，从沉默走向呼吸和表达。

《希腊课》讲述了这对情侣之间意想不到的纽带，也是一封写给人类亲密和联系的温柔情书——一本唤醒感官的小说，生动地唤起了活着的本质。

NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • A dazzling novel about the saving grace of language and human connection, from the “visionary” (New York Times Book Review) author of the International Booker Prize winner The Vegetarian

“Both a disquieting journey about the loss of sense and a return to the sensorium of touch and intimacy, Greek Lessons soars with sensuous and revelatory insight.”—Cathy Park Hong, author of Minor Feelings

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, Time, Chicago Public Library, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal

"Now and then, language would thrust its way into her sleep like a skewer through meat, startling her awake several times a night."

In a classroom in Seoul, a young woman watches her Greek language teacher at the blackboard. She tries to speak but has lost her voice. Her teacher finds himself drawn to the silent woman, for day by day he is losing his sight. 

Soon the two discover a deeper pain binds them together. For her, in the space of just a few months, she has lost both her mother and the custody battle for her nine-year-old son. For him, it's the pain of growing up between Korea and Germany, being torn between two cultures and languages, and the fear of losing his independence.

Greek Lessons tells the story of two ordinary people brought together at a moment of private anguish—the fading light of a man losing his vision meeting the silence of a woman who has lost her language. Yet these are the very things that draw them to each other. Slowly the two discover a profound sense of unity—their voices intersecting with startling beauty, as they move from darkness to light, from silence to breath and expression.

Greek Lessons is the story of the unlikely bond between this pair and a tender love letter to human intimacy and connection—a novel to awaken the senses, one that vividly conjures the essence of what it means to be alive.
