Bizarre and Beautiful Words from Europe (For When English Just Won't Do)

Alex Rawlings
Organized by country, this volume explores words from 12 European languages that have no direct English translation. Whether expressing feelings such as ‘merak’ (Serbian for the pleasure derived from simple things) or describing people and experiences (and replaying them as ‘kopfkino’, or ‘head cinema’), the entries celebrate the richness of different languages and highlight our cultural similarities.
