WONDERFUL WINDING WORDS Touring in four languages (Chinese,
English, French, German) From Francois PIALAT Welcome to this
phrase-book in 4 languages (Chinese, English, French and German)
which let us discovers fluent words and expressions from our daily
life. We are at the crossing of Asian and European civilisations
which intermingle with each others. Each civilisation shows its
spirit according to its experience. A flow of ideas carries away
the reader, awaking his perception. Funny, baffling, picturesque,
echoing...A colour, a fragrance, a scent beyond the words gives
them their own sensibility. The hundred words chosen by the writer
during his peregrinations and recollections are enriching our
knowledge on our own vocabulary and the one of our neighbours -
from here and abroad. We discover an unusual Anglo-Saxon world and
the Far East is bringing its exotic touch. Each word may have a
special resonance in the imaginary or in the reality. Short, a
clever book to learn while amusing oneself, confirming the maxim:
Truth in the Pyrenees, mistake beyond. After having studied in
Bournemouth, England, Tubingen and Bochum, Germany, the French
author discovers ethnology with the hill tribes of the Golden
Triangle, Thailand. His passion for Asia leads him to study Asian
languages and civilisations.
