Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A treasury of aphorisms that crosses borders and centuries.Find wisdom across five tongues.Hermann Fried's multilingual quotations collection gathers pithy sayings and memorable turns of phrase drawn from the European literary tradition. Functioning as both a famous sayings anthology and a practical language reference book, it presents classic literature quotes and cross-cultural aphorisms in German, Latin, French, English and Italian, putting original wording at a reader's fingertips.Compiled in the spirit of a 19th century reference, the volume reads like a historical phrasebook and a complete citation guide: short entries supply context, parallel phrasing and provenance for those who work with texts. It is a resource for students and scholars for tracking uses and variations, and a language learners companion that offers authentic models of idiom and register.
