Description
Stato di conservazione: OTTIMO, solo leggermente ingiallito. Con 29 tavole a colori fuori testo. In lingua originale inglese.
In this book Melvyn Bragg shows us the remarkable story of the English language; from its beginnings as a minor guttural Germanic dialect to its position today as a truly established global language. The Adventure of English is not only an enthralling story of power, religion and trade, but also the story of people, and how their day-to-day lives shaped and continue to change the extraordinary language that is English.
