Download or read book Wicked Italian written by Howard Tomb and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than just a phrasebook with a sense of humor, Wicked Italian is a cultural survival guide. Confronted with a forgetful innkeeper you'll do better than mumble an apology by learning to say Allora dormiamo nella lobby. ("In that case, we will sleep here in the lobby"). Forced to wait for your dinner you'll say: Bisogna essere Primo Ministro per essere servito qui? ("Must one be Prime Minister to get service here?") Women traveling alone will finally have the phrases they need at their fingertips, such as Contento tu ("Dream on"), Guardi che chiamo la polizia ("I'll call the police"), and Neanche se fosse l'ultimo uomo sulla terra ("Not if you were the last man on earth"). On the other hand, a chapter on "Making Love" teaches the delicate language of amore. Wicked Italian is the next best thing to being named Marcello or Sophia. Ciao!

(ÒI'd prefer a room without scorpions.Ó) With seven titles and over 1.2 million copies in print, Howard Tomb's Wicked phrase book series is the fiendishly irreverentÑand very successfulÑcollection that gives travelers the words they wish they could utter while, say, attempting to find the exit of the Louvre or facing a plate of fugu (poisonous blowfish) in Japan.

A$25 value for $8.95, it's the ultimate impulse gift for anyone who'd like to know how to say silly things in five different languages.

Download or read book Princes Politics and Religion 1547 1589 written by N. M. Sutherland and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1984-07-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period following the treaty of Cateau-Cambresis and the death of Henry II in 1559 is of crucial importance in the history of France and of Europe; yet little that is satisfactory has been written about it. To this, the work of Dr N.M. Sutherland is a notable exception. Princes, Politics and Religion, 1547-1589 brings together all her major articles, not already reprinted elsewhere, together with an introduction and two completely new contributions. While mainly focusing on the immediate origins and early decades of the French civil wars, she also deals in a wider sense with the great ideological struggle of the sixteenth century.
