The Illustrated Book of Sayings - Ella Frances Sanders

12.95 €

From the author of the New York Times bestseller, "Lost in Translation," come this collection of 52 artistic renderings of sayings from around the world that illuminate the whimsical nature of language. Ella Frances Sanders's first book, "Lost in Translation, " captured the imagination of readers with its charmingly illustrated words that have no direct English translation. Now, the New York Times-bestselling author is back with an illustrated collection that addresses the nuances of language in the form of sayings from around the world. From the French idiom "to pedal in the sauerkraut," (i.e., "to spin your wheels,") to the Japanese idiom "even monkeys fall from trees" (meaning, "even experts can be wrong"), Sanders presents sayings that reveal the remarkable diversity, humor, and poignancy of the world's languages and cultures.
