Specifications
Very often, we use words and phrases in our speech that come from both the very distant past and the more recent one. They condense truths and wise conclusions from life experience; however, for many of them, we are unaware of the reason that gave birth to them or the environment that established them. And yet... Most of them hide a very beautiful and strange origin.
Phrases and words like sly as a fox!, whoever gets chosen by fate, something's fishy, he threw down the gauntlet, will the suitcase go far?, it came to him in a box, every rogue to his own bench, I was hit like a ton of bricks, abracadabra, writing goblins, let it be an old grape vine, he has a relative in Koroni, I'm cracking jokes, and so many others, reveal the behind-the-scenes of their creation and lead the reader to realize that history is not a dead time that does not concern us, but becomes present, as it is ground daily in our mouths and shapes our values and attitudes towards life.
By following in this book the traces that lead us to the living history, you will experience an exciting journey through time and be captivated by the amazement of knowledge and the experience of discovery.
