Summary "Ο Ψυχάρης και το έργο του" by Κώστας Φλώρης is a historical and literary analysis written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and contributions of Giannis Psycharis, focusing on his significant role in the development of modern Greek language and literature. It outlines his background, education, and the impact of his works, particularly his advocacy for the use of the demotic Greek language as a means to connect contemporary Greeks with their heritage. The opening of this analysis provides an overview of Psycharis’s life, highlighting his early years in Odessa, his education in Paris, and his rise as a prominent linguist and advocate for the demotic language. It details his first major works, including his critical exploitations in phonetics and modern grammar, as well as his more renowned piece, "Ταξίδι," which was pivotal in fostering a new appreciation for the Greek vernacular. The text situates Psycharis within the broader socio-political context of Greece at the time, discussing the public's initial resistance to the demotic language and illustrating Psycharis’s determination to assert the legitimacy and beauty of the living language against traditionalist views.
