[01] Book on olive, olive oil in Chinese
The seminal Chinese-language edition of the well-known book
"Civilisation of the Olive and Olive Oil" debuted this week following
nearly three years of efforts to translate the work.
The 176-page book, authored by Nikos and Maria Psilakis, has already
been translated into the major European languages and Japanese. The
Chinese edition aims to fill an almost "absolute" void in the
Chinese-speaking world for the quintessentially Mediterranean olive
tree and its products, as well as showcasing the intricate link between
the olive and Greece and Hellenism through the millennia.
Among others, 130 recipes are included in its pages, using olive oil as
the dominant theme.
Chinese author and philologist Aidong Qu is credited with the
translation.
