About the Book

Este libro muestra el origen y la historia de muchas palabras de uso comun en nuestro idioma, asi como el de otras tantas importadas de diversos lenguajes. El estilo ameno y coloquial asombrara al lector, ademas de aclararle el origen de muchos de los vocablos que usa a diario. Sabia usted que la palabra jamas en realidad significa siempre? Que la expresion ojala es una invocacion al dios de los musulmanes? Que limosnero es aquel que da, y no el que recibe? Por que llamamos corbata a ese pedazo de tela que la sociedad nos obliga a amarrarnos sofocantemente en el cuello? Sabia usted que las palabras poseen un origen y una historia fascinante, increible y sorprendente? Las palabras por si solas nos cuentan un suceso, una experiencia o toda una biografia. Porque la palabra es mas que un simple sonido, es la unidad de nuestro lenguaje, el punto de partida de nuestra cultura y el fundamento de las distintas sociedades que habitan este planeta. La asombrosa historia de las palabras no es un diccionario enciclopedico de pesada erudicion, sino una seleccion de las palabras que usamos a diario y de las que desconocemos su razon de ser dentro de nuestro vocabulario cotidiano, escrita de manera amena y humoristica para entretener al lector y para que este, a su vez, entretenga a sus amigos y familiares usando como tema de conversacion cualquier cosa que en ese momento vea o escuche. Es una obra para disfrutar y comentar. Un conocimiento para compartir que cambiara para siempre su concepcion del lenguaje.
