Julian Hoffman, the winner of the 2026 Anglo-Hellenic League’s Runciman Award will discuss his work and career at an exciting event in Athens on 7th December. 

This will take place at the Hotel Grande Bretagne, Syntagma Square, Athens. 

Attendance at the event is by invitation only, due to space constraints. 

Julian’s book, Lifelines (Elliot and Thompson, 2025), is the story of how, in the summer of 2000, Julian Hoffman and his wife Julia found themselves disillusioned with city life. Overwhelmed by long commutes, they stumbled upon a book about Prespa, Greece – a remote corner of Europe filled with stone villages, snow-capped mountains and wildlife. What began as curiosity soon transformed into a life-changing decision: to make Prespa their home.

The event is kindly supported by the Athanasios C. Laskaridis Charitable Foundation.
