This unique intellectual personality talks about his many translations, his texts that have been “beacons” of study for researchers.
Reference is made to the early Enlightenment, to the Greek surrealist poets (Embirikos, Sachtouris, etc.) that he has translated in his unique way. Award-winning Jacques Bouchard talks about the great philosophers and his teachers, Dimaras and Savvidis. Special mention is made to the Greek community in Montreal.
