Laura Beatty: Looking for Theophrastus

Laura Beatty could turn straw into gold. In Looking for Theophrastus: Travels in Search of a Lost Philosopher, she describes chancing across the writings of a rather obscure Greek philosopher, and the wonders and illuminations that followed. She speaks to Johnny about her pursuit of this forgotten figure, through markets and cobbled streets, via Chaucer and George Eliot...  Edited by Magnus Rena  Music: Mikis Theodorakis and Thanasis Vasilas, Galazio Taximi
