Vadim Khrappa is a writer and radio journalist. Many people know him well from his radio program "Purely Russian", in which he talked about the intricacies of the Russian language. For example, how from century to century words and expressions transformed and became a linguistic phenomenon, what they meant, how they were connected with the history of our culture.
Why is rapture administrative, and the legendary Adam's apple? How does it feel to be labeled a white crow? Does it make sense to build air castles? What is "abracadabra" and what do candy and confetti have in common? What tone is called "mentor"?
The book by V. Khrappa - a fascinating journey into the world of entertaining etymology. And often the history of words is like a real detective!
