Other books

THE NEW BOOK by Professor G. Babiniotis includes texts of Prefaces and Introductions from twenty-five of his books. As he notes in the Preface of the book: “The reason why the author writes a book and what he wants to offer with it is the essence of writing any book”. These texts describe the method and the main characteristics of each work, as well as the challenges faced during the process of writing. In this way, they introduce the reader not only into the world of each book, but also into the author’s general linguistic thought.
