Críticas
"Jaw-droppingly wonderful ... A marvellous and surprising book which left me breathless and dizzy with delight. The ironic, playful tone at the beginning gradates into something serious that is never pompous, intellectually and historically complex and yet always pellucidly laid out. Plus I learned the word plaidoyer which I shall do my utmost to use every day" (Stephen Fry)
"Fabulously interesting ... a remarkably rich, provocative and intelligent work of pop science" (Sunday Times)
"Brilliant [and] beautifully written" (Financial Times)
"So robustly researched and wonderfully told that it is hard to put down" (New Scientist)
"A delight to read" (Spectator)

It's a question that has baffled, enraged and fascinated in equal measure
for over a century: does the language you speak affect the way you think? Contrary to the fashionable consensus of today, acclaimed author Guy Deutscher believes that the answer is a resounding yes.On an odyssey that takes us from Homer to Darwin, from scientists to savages, and from how to name the rainbow to why Russian water - a 'she' - become a 'he' once you have dipped a tea bag into her, Through the Language Glass explores some of the most intriguing and controversial questions about language, culture and the human mind.
