Español

La Palabra Exacta. Roget y su Tesauro

Peter aprendió que las palabras son poderosas. Y cuando las colocaba en largas y ordenadas filas, sentía como si el mundo mismo se pusiera en orden. Para el tímido joven Peter Mark Roget, los libros eran los mejores compañeros, y no pasó mucho tiempo antes de que Peter empezara a escribir su propio libro. Pero no escribía historias, sino listas. Peter utilizaba su amor por las palabras para organizar sus ideas y encontrar exactamente la palabra adecuada para expresar lo que pensaba. Sus listas crecieron y crecieron hasta convertirse en uno de los libros de referencia más importantes de todos los tiempos. Este libro es un retrato atractivo y visualmente absorbente de Peter Mark Roget y la creación del tesauro. Lectores de todas las edades se maravillarán con la vida de Roget, retratada a través de un texto lírico y unas ilustraciones brillantemente detalladas. Este elegante libro celebra la alegría de aprender y el poder de las palabras.

The Exact Word: Roget and his Thesaurus

Words, Peter learned, were powerful things. And when he put them in long, neat rows, he felt as if the world itself clicked into order."" For shy young Peter Mark Roget, books were the best companionsand it wasn't long before Peter began writing his own book. But he didn't write stories; he wrote lists. Peter took his love for words and used it to organize his ideas and find exactly the right word to express just what he thought. His lists grew and grew, eventually turning into one of the most important reference books of all time. This book is an inviting, visually engrossing portrayal of Peter Mark Roget and the creation of the thesaurus. Readers of all ages will marvel at Roget's life, depicted through lyrical text and brilliantly detailed illustrations. This elegant book celebrates the joy of learning and the power of words.
