This book invites you to the most fascinating of journeys - on board the word. After all, words, like people, do not stand still. In fact, they are always on the move - from one era to another, from one nation to another, and with them they bring images of speech and images of thought.
If words are the glasses through which we look at the world, then the twenty-five stories collected in this book are the path that our ability to talk about it through language has taken. The path to the present day, on which new challenges arose, victories and discoveries occurred, people learned to think and feel in a new way.
To trace the origin of words from ancient roots to modern meanings, from extinct dead languages to new means of expressing thoughts and feelings - means to understand the present and, most importantly, to prepare for the future - because each new generation pays special attention to the choice of words.
