Join Andrea Marcolongo, renowned classicist and one of today’s mos original thinkers on antiquity, for an inspiring journey as she learns to run—and to live-like a Greek.
Why do we run? To what end all the effort and pain? Wherefore this love of muscle, speed, and sweat? The Greeks were the first to ask these questions, the first to suspend war, work, politics, to enjoy public celebrations of athletic prowess. They invented sport and were the first to understand how physical activity connected to our mental well-being.
After decades spent with her head and heart in the books trying to think like a Greek, at a professional and personal crossroads, Andrea Marcolongo set out to learn how to run like a Greek. In doing so, she deepened her understanding of the ancient civilization she has spent her career studying and discovered more about herself than she could ever have dreamed
In this spirited, generous, and engaging book, Marcolongo shares her erudition and her own journey to understanding that a healthy body is, in more ways than one might guess, a healthy mind.
