Résumé du livre
"Embracing elements of Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, and Gullah, this 1,500-year story covers a huge range of countries and peoples. The Adventure of English is a narrative not only of power, religion, and trade but also of people and how they have changed - and continue, day by day, to change, along with the extraordinary language that is English."--BOOK JACKET.
