What's in a name? Rather more than you might at first suspect, for names are steeped in history and myth and have much to tell us about our past, our beliefs - even our personality traits. Now fully updated for its second edition, with 150 new entries, The Penguin Dictionary of First Names takes a close look at over 5,000 examples, ranging from the familiar to the comparatively obscure, drawn from all parts of the English-speaking world. Detailed and informative, it is essential reading for expectant parents and for anyone who is intrigued by the story attached to each name. Codice articolo LU-9780141013985
Cosa c'è in un nome? Molto più di quanto si possa sospettare a prima vista, perché i nomi sono immersi nella storia e nel mito e hanno molto da raccontarci sul nostro passato, sulle nostre convinzioni, persino sui tratti della nostra personalità. Ora completamente aggiornato per la sua seconda edizione, con 150 nuove voci, The Penguin Dictionary of First Names esamina attentamente oltre 5 stelle esempi, che vanno dal familiare al relativamente oscuro, tratti da tutte le parti del mondo di lingua inglese. Dettagliato e informativo, è una lettura essenziale per i futuri genitori e per chiunque sia incuriosito dalla storia legata a ogni nome.
