An engaging book from a well-known linguist about winged expressions in the Russian language!
The language we use is constantly evolving: some expressions disappear, others emerge, and some even change their meaning.
And there are names and phrases that become “winged”—the book by Eduard Vartanian “Winged Names” will tell you about that.
In the book you’ll learn what the phrase “smile of the augurs” means, the origin of the expression “The Moor has done his business,” who a baybak is, and what the Trishkin coat looked like, which was mentioned by classics of Russian literature.
For middle-grade schoolchildren.
