Some words are too beautiful to die.Lost Words: The World Edition takes the journey that began in the bestselling Lost Words: Beautiful Old Words We Should Bring Back and expands it across the entire globe. In Japanese, there is a word for the way sunlight filters through leaves. In Arabic, a phrase that means I love you so much I could not survive you. In German, a word for the weight gained from emotional overeating — literally grief bacon. In Welsh, a word for a homesickness for a home that may never have existed.None of these have English equivalents. They were named by people paying close, devoted attention to their lives — and this book brings them back.Inside these pages you will discover over 130 rare, forgotten, and untranslatable words from more than 20 languages, organized across 10 beautifully themed chapters: love and longing, nature and the living world, emotion and the inner life, wit and humor, travel and adventure, food and feasting, time and memory, mystery and the uncanny, movement and the body, and the life of the mind.Every word includes its full origin story, an explanation of why it deserves to be spoken again, and an example showing it working in a sentence — the same trusted format that made the first volume a reader favorite.The right word for something changes the experience of it forever.Read. Remember. Use them. Read more
