Greeting the people we meet is something we do daily, multiple times. We do it anywhere in the world... Do we know what we are saying to someone when we say: Hello, Ciao, Good morning, Goodbye?

Did you know that when you say "Ciao" to someone, you are telling them you are their slave? Or that many forms of greeting precisely consist of wishing the other person health, while saying "Hola" or "Hello" are merely ways to get attention? The Book of Greetings proposes a journey through the history, uses, and customs of forms of greeting among people. Enjoy this surprising and erudite journey through humanity's cultural history, a fascinating trip that invites us to remember that we are not isolated individuals, but that we belong to the same big family. And that small daily interactions between people are what truly make us human.
