Is That a Fish in Your Ear? - Translation and the Meaning of Everything (Paperback)

Is That a Fish in Your Ear? by David Bellos asks: how do we really make ourselves understood to other people?

Selected by The New York Times as one of the 100 Notable Books of 2011 'A wonderful, witty book ... richly original, endlessly fascinating ... for anyone interested in words' Economist, Books of the Year 'A scintillating bouillabaisse ... spiced with good and provocative things' Literary Review 'Dazzlingly inventive' The New York Times 'Clear and lively ... There is nothing quite like it' Spectator
