The journey of wordsAndrea Marcolongo / Andrea UciniThis book invites to the most exciting of travels - aboard the word. After all, words, like people, do not stand still. In fact, they are always on the way - from one era to another, from one people to another, and with them they bring images of speech and images of thought.
If words are glasses through which we look at the world, then twenty -five stories collected in this book is the path that our ability to speak about it has made. The path to today, on which new tasks got up, there were victories and discoveries, people learned to think and feel in a new way.
To trace the origin of words from ancient roots to modern meanings, from the disappeared dead languages to new means of expression of thoughts and feelings means to understand the present and, most importantly, to prepare for the future - after all, each new generation pays special attention to the choice of words.
