Pilgrim in the Palace of Words: A Journey Through the 6,000 Languages of Earth

Pilgrim in the Palace of Words: A Journey Through the 6,000 Languages of Earth | Glenn Dixon

Pilgrim in the Palace is great

2 years ago

This is a book about adventure travel - wild and wacky adventures that sometimes put the author close to death. It's also a book about the languages of the world, though, and how we understand each other... something we really need if we're going to make this Global Village work. I loved it. It made me laugh but it also made me think. read review

Pilgrim in the Palace of Words: a journey through the 6000 languages of Earth

2 years ago

Listen to this: "We all walk, I suppose, down these long trails of beauty. We have been cast across continents and oceans and we have named them all. We have conjured up countless worlds in a thousand different tongues. We are the Symbol-smiths. We are the spinners of tales. And with our languages we call ourselves into being and sparkle, for a time, like stars over a dark and silent world. view post
