The book “Through the Mirror of Language” is one of the main popular science bestsellers of recent years. Why do some cultures use the same word for blue and green? Why did Homer call the sea “wine-colored”? Why do the indigenous people of Australia say "west" and "east" instead of "right" and "left"? How does language determine a person’s way of life and the fate of a people? A witty and brilliantly written book by one of the most famous modern linguists - a real gift for anyone interested in the life of language and the diversity of human culture.
