Synopsis

Whether one reads only newspapers or nothing more serious than a short story or a novel-whatever one reads one is constantly running up against an illusion to the Ancient Classics of Greece and Roma and, in almost every intelligent sentence or statement, one is meeting words that are fully understandable only if one knows something of their Greek or Latin origins.
