Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A fascinating (The Economist) dive into the world of linguistics that is part travelogue, part science lesson, part intellectual investigationan entertaining, informative survey of some of the most fascinating polyglots of our time (The New York Times Book Review).In Babel No More, Michael Erard, a monolingual with benefits, sets out on a quest to meet language superlearners and make sense of their mental powers. On the way he uncovers the secrets of historical figures like the nineteenthcentury Italian cardinal Joseph Mezzofanti, who was said to speak seventytwo languages, as well as those of living languagesuperlearners such as Alexander Arguelles, a modernday polyglot who knows dozens of languages and shows Erard the tricks of the trade to give him a dark glimpse into the life of obsessive language acquisition.With his ambitious examination of what language is, where it lives in the brain, and the cultural implications of polyglots pursuits, Erard explores the upper limits of our ability to learn and use languages and illuminates the intellectual potential in everyone. How do some people escape the curse of Babeland what might the gods have demanded of them in return?
