When ideas fail, words come in handy. But sometimes you can't find the right word, and what you want to say can't be found in the dictionary. English has its limitations, but the expression you're searching for may exist in another language. In Other Words is a unique collection of well-known and absolutely obscure "untranslatables"―linguistic gems that convey a feeling or notion with satisfying precision yet resist simple translation. 
This quirky lexicon of hard-to-translate words gives the reader a new way to look at the world and how words relate to us. The words are arranged by region or country of origin, and a brief introduction to each section―each done by a respected translator―gives insight into the culture of the people as well as the language. Each of these singular words is cleverly and thoroughly defined, with interesting details and references throughout. The search for that elusive mot juste may be over.

Sheherazade, the king’s beautiful wife, is due to be executed at dawn―unless she can convince the king to change his mind. That night she tells him a wonderful story which, as dawn comes, she leaves unfinished. 
 “Will you let me live to finish the tale?” she asks. 
 “Of course,” replies the king. “I must know what happens next.” 
 Night after night, Sheherazade tells story after story, always leaving the last one incomplete. And so for one thousand and one nights, she remains alive... 
 This is how the enchanting collection of stories known as One Thousand and One Nights has been passed down to us. It includes the well-known stories “Sheherazade”; “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”; “The Ox and the Ass”; and “The Horse of Ebony”; as well as how the story of Sheherazade ended. 
 In this beautiful new edition the stories are brought to life by the enchanting, elegant illustrations of Olga Dugina.
