A propos de ce titre

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur:

This is the first abridged edition of the legendary reference work, "Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable", compiled by Dr Brewer in 1870, which has since gone through many editions and sold millions of copies.

It has enjoyed great popularity ever since its first publication, and is a veritable treasure-trove of interesting pieces of information - some snippets, some larger articles, some extended lists - always fascinating and charming, and frequently amusingly idiosyncratic.

It contains over 15,000 entries which give the meaning and origin of words, phrases, proper names, figures in mythology and history, and terms in religion, magic, philosophy, literature, geography, history, and the sciences.

This is an extraordinary miscellany of knowledge, including lists of traditional animal calls, patron saints, wedding anniversaries, heraldic terms, how to play nine men's morris, and much more.

As the Editor says in her Introduction, it is "a unique and fascinating collection of information invaluable to anyone who reads or writes".

Description de la librairie

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
