10 Books in Translation From Modern Greek

"When many of us think of Greece, we think of Homer. Our minds draw straight to ancient Greece and ancient Greek, as if the cities of Athens and Sparta only exist in the mythical days.
But there is a thriving population today speaking in Greek — Greek that is not Homer's Greek any more than our English is Shakespeare's English. Modern-day Greece is haunted by much different ghosts than those of Achilles or Odysseus. From war with Turkey that resulted in many refugees and a large-scale population exchange, to the post–World War II civil war, to the 1960s military dictatorship, to the devastating economic crisis that began in late 2009, Greece's modern history has room to fill epics of its own."
