Experience the powerful words of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has
spent a lifetime in service to the United States, from young lawyer
fighting for the disadvantaged to Secretary of State and two-time
presidential candidate. Arranged thematically, the hundreds of
selections here have been drawn from her speeches, conferences,
debates, interviews, books, social media posts, and more, and cover
both her personal and professional lives.
A truly original book in every sense of the word, The Dictionary of
Obscure Sorrows poetically defines emotions that we all feel but
don't have the words to express, until now-from the creator of the
popular online project of the same name. Have you ever wondered
about the lives of each person you pass on the street, realizing
that everyone is the main character in their own story, each living
a life as vivid and complex as your own? That feeling has a name:
"sonder." Or maybe you've watched a thunderstorm roll in and felt a
primal hunger for disaster, hoping it would shake up your life.
That's called "lachesism." Or you were looking through old photos
and felt a pang of nostalgia for a time you've never actually
experienced. That's "anemoia." If you've never heard of these terms
before, that's because they didn't exist until John Koenig began
his epic quest to fill the gaps in the language of emotion. Born as
a website in 2009, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows has garnered
widespread critical acclaim, inspired TED talks, album titles,
cocktails, and even tattoos. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows
"creates beautiful new words that we need but do not yet have,"
says John Green, bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars. By
turns poignant, funny, and mind-bending, the definitions include
whimsical etymologies drawn from languages around the world,
interspersed with otherworldly collages and lyrical essays that
explore forgotten corners of the human condition-from "astrophe,"
the longing to explore beyond the planet Earth, to "zenosyne," the
sense that time keeps getting faster. The Dictionary of Obscure
Sorrows is for anyone who enjoys a shift in perspective, pondering
the ineffable feelings that make up our lives, which have far more
in common than we think. With a gorgeous package and beautifully
illustrated throughout, this is the perfect gift for creatives,
word nerds, and people everywhere.
