The publishers of Russian Life magazine announce a new language-
learning title, out just in time for the holidays.
Priced like a stocking stuffer, it packs a disproportionately large
linguistic punch, offering students (and translators and even "old
hands" in the language) insight into over 90 culturally challenging
terms and ideas.
The new title is:
93 UNTRANSLATABLE RUSSIAN WORDS
by Natalia Gogolitsyna
ISBN: 1-880100-09-6, 96 pages, softcover, $12 + s&h
In this compact and useful volume, difficult to translate words and
concepts (volya, sudba, toska, avos) are introduced with dictionary
definitions, then elucidated with citations from literature, speech
and prose, helping the student of Russian comprehend the word/concept
in context. As an added bonus, we have included two pages of Old
Russian Measurements, with translations into metric and showing
relationships between various sub-measurements.
