""Dreaming in Hindi "is the verbally and emotionally dazzling story of Rich's passage to India, where she tried to master an intricate foreign tongue--and became fluent in the language of human possibility." --"O, The Oprah Magazine, ""Ten Terrific Reads of 2009" "Riveting and sharply observed." --"Wall Street Journal" "A work that will inevitably be compared to Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love" . . . ["Dreaming in Hindi"] traces the far-flung adventures of a thoughtful, soul-searching, single woman from New York." --"New York Times" "Rich is a charming raconteur." --"San Francisco Chronicle""In her deftly written memoir, "Dreaming in Hindi," Rich makes us wish we too could come alive in a foreign world, fearless of mistakes, misperceptions and mishaps, and enlivened by the unfamiliar . . . a natural journalist, [she] gracefully sprinkles reportage about neuroscience and linguistics, as well as her own poignant insights, into her narrative." --"Elle"s
Having survived a serious illness and reached an impasse in her career, Katherine Russell Rich spontaneously accepts a freelance assignment in India, where she finds herself utterly overwhelmed by the place and the language. Before she knows it she is on her way to Udaipur, a city in Rajasthan, to live with a local family and join a special language school offering 'total immersion'. What follows is a year of linguistic adventure and cultural surprises in which Rich gradually sheds her foreignness, to discover a new country and a new way of communicating. Both a clever, lucid and funny memoir, and a unique investigation into the science of language acquisition, Dreaming in Hindi offers an engrossing account of what learning a new language can teach us about distant worlds and, ultimately, ourselves.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
