Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • “Delightful . . . [a] captivating and slyly subversive fictional paean to the real women whose work on the Oxford English Dictionary went largely unheralded.”—The New York Times Book Review “A marvelous fiction about the power of language to elevate or repress.”—Geraldine Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of People of the Book Esme is born into a world of words. Motherless and irrepressibly curious, she spends her childhood in the Scriptorium, an Oxford garden shed in which her father and a team of dedicated lexicographers are collecting words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. Young Esme’s place is beneath the sorting table, unseen and unheard. One day a slip of paper containing the word bondmaid flutters beneath the table. She rescues the slip and, learning that the word means “slave girl,” begins to collect other words that have been discarded or neglected by the dictionary men. As she grows up, Esme realizes that words and meanings relating to women’s and common folks’ experiences often go unrecorded. And so she begins in earnest to search out words for her own dictionary: the Dictionary of Lost Words. To do so she must leave the sheltered world of the university and venture out to meet the people whose words will fill those pages. Set during the height of the women’s suffrage movement and with the Great War looming, The Dictionary of Lost Words reveals a lost narrative, hidden between the lines of a history written by men. Inspired by actual events, author Pip Williams has delved into the archives of the Oxford English Dictionary to tell this highly original story. The Dictionary of Lost Words is a delightful, lyrical, and deeply thought-provoking celebration of words and the power of language to shape the world. WINNER OF THE AUSTRALIAN BOOK INDUSTRY AWARD

Download or read book One Italian Summer written by Pip Williams and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pip and Shannon dreamed of living the good life. They wanted to slow down, grow their own food and spend more time with the people they love. But jobs and responsibilities got in the way: their chooks died, their fruit rotted, and Pip ended up depressed and in therapy. So they did the only reasonable thing - they quit their jobs, pulled the children out of school and went searching for la dolce vita in Italy. One Italian Summer is a warm, funny and poignant story of a family's search for a better way of living, in the homes and on the farms of strangers. Pip sleeps in a tool shed, feasts under a Tuscan sun, works like a tractor in Calabria and, eventually, finds the good life she's always dreamed of - though not at all where she expected.

Download or read book Sociolog a apasionada written by Ann Game and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2015-07-31 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Qué es la sociología apasionada? ¿Es la sociología digna de pasión? Generalmente, la sociología se muestra como un sistema objetivo de pensamiento y práctica. La pasión se debe evitar o es, como mínimo, algo sospechoso. Ahora, por fin, contamos con un libro que argumenta de forma sincera sobre la pasión como algo necesario en la sociología. Este texto no trata simplemente de la sociología apasionada, sino que la demuestra. Este libro pretende entusiasmar a los lectores con un análisis de lo que puede hacer la sociología para ayudarles a comprender sus vidas y las condiciones sociales de nuestro tiempo. Presentando y desarrollando gran número de temas principales, entre ellos la identidad, el conocimiento, la metáfora, la magia, el deseo, el poder, la vida cotidiana y la mediación cultural, Sociología apasionada nos invita a analizar dichos temas mediante prácticas de lectura, escritura, oratoria, aprendizaje, narrativa, representación y organización. Diseñado para alumnos de todos los niveles, este libro altera notablemente la aproximación al estudio de la sociología, desafiando los manuales consolidados y apuntando nuevas e inspiradoras formas de acercarse a la materia.
