Summary: "Ρόδα και Μήλα, Τόμος Α'" by Ioannis Psicharis is a collection of essays likely written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the evolution of the Greek language, exploring the contrasts between different linguistic styles and the implications of their use for cultural identity. Through these discussions, it delves into broader themes of art, beauty, and personal expression. At the start of this volume, the author reflects on a metaphorical walk through a garden, contrasting roses and apples to represent the imagination and scientific thought, respectively. He initiates a discussion on the linguistic landscape of Greece, reminiscing about a time when the language was passionately debated. Psicharis critiques the so-called “half language” and its implications, lamenting the absence of a true reflection of the Greek identity within language. He emphasizes the need for a genuine and living language that resonates with the people, as opposed to the artificial constructs of learned language that do not align with the everyday experience of the populace.
